I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and the numlock indicator is on the

receiver that plugs into the USB port, if that helps.

Re: Wireless KB - no Numlock indicator

 

For Logitech Wireless components you need to install a support

software package called SetPoint. With that in place the Num &

Cap lock functions report to the screen. ( Bright Green Overlay

that reports [A.] Caps Lock on/off [1] Num Lock on/off )

 

SetPoint download: (Menu)
