You! Watch the following short video to know how to enable/disable Mouse Keys options using the keyboard alone.Mouse Keys SettingsPointer Speed:Notice the default Pointer Speed and Acceleration in Figure 1.2, which is set to Medium. You can use the Left and Right arrow keys to increase or decrease the Pointer Speed or Acceleration. My advice is to set them to High and Fast and also Enable “Hold down CTRL to Speed up and SHIFT to slow down” the Mouse Pointer Speed option. We will describe these features in the next section when we will be using this computer without a mouse.Num Lock Settings:These are the most important when you need to use all the keys from the NUM PAD to Move the Mouse Pointer, Select the objects, Drag-n-drop objects, etc. You can accomplish all the tasks through Mouse Keys that you do with a Computer Mouse.Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is Off:You can also find an option stating “Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is On / Off“. You can move between these options using the TAB Key and can use the SPACE BAR to Enable/Disable or change the options.You should always use Mouse Keys when Num Lock is set to Off. That way, when the NUM LOCK will OFF then you will be able to use the NUM PAD as Mouse Keys and when the NUM PAD will ON then you will be able to type all the Numerical Numbers and Symbols through NUM PAD.If you will set “Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is to ON” then you will not be able to type numerical keys with NUM PAD as they now will be used for Mouse Key movements and other actions.Display the Mouse Keys icon on the taskbar:This option will display an icon of Mouse Keys in the System Tray of your Taskbar. It will also display a Cross-Indicator according to the status of the Num Lock.Turn on Mouse Keys with left ALT + left SHIFT + NUM LOCKIf the Mouse Keys keyboard shortcut key (Left ALT + Left SHIFT + NUM Lock) is clashing with a shortcut from any other application on your system or you don’t want to Turn On the Mouse Keys using the shortcut at all then you can disable the option under “Keyboard shortcut” section.Keep in mind, disabling this shortcut will not let you turn on / off the Mouse Keys using shortcut the next time and you have to move to the Control Panel – Ease of Access Center to access the settings or use the Start Search.Display a warning message when turning a setting on:Under “Keyboard shortcut” there are 2 more settings. The first one is already shown in Figure 1.1, where Windows when you use Keyboard Shortcut to turn on/off the Mouse Key.Make a sound when turning a setting on or off:You also hear certain sounds while using Mouse Keys and turning On/Off certain settings or while pressing keys from the Num Pad and that is what the

Hi @Baruchg,Welcome to HP Support Community.Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.It sounds like your keyboard's "lock" light is on, which typically indicates that a specific function key (like Num Lock, Caps Lock, or Scroll Lock) is active. However, if the keyboard is not typing, it could be due to a few different issues. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshooting this.Check the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock: The lock light may be showing that Caps Lock or Num Lock is activated. Try pressing the Caps Lock or Num Lock key to see if the light turns off and if typing resumes.Try Restarting: Sometimes, restarting the computer can help reset keyboard functionality. Unplug the keyboard (if wired) or turn it off and on (if wireless) and restart the device.Re-pair the Keyboard: If the issue persists, try re-pairing the keyboard with your computer. For a wireless keyboard, you can typically do this by unpairing the device and then reconnecting it via the USB receiver or Bluetooth settings.Check Keyboard Settings: On your computer, check if any keyboard settings might have been changed. For example, make sure the keyboard layout is correctly set for your region and language in the operating system's keyboard settings.Test on Another Device: If possible, try the keyboard on another computer or device to see if the issue is with the keyboard itself or your computer.Replace the Batteries: If you're using a wireless keyboard, low batteries could cause erratic behavior. Try replacing the batteries.Check for Driver Updates: Ensure that your keyboard drivers are up to date. You can do this via the Device Manager on Windows or in the system preferences on Mac.I hope this helps.Take care and have a good day.Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
