I've purchased a LMP Bluetooth Numeric Keypad for my mid 2011 iMac (see system's details below).
Excellent piece of hardware: really does its job.
(I actually prefer the LMP keypad keys' feedback, rather than the original Apple Wireless ones!)
However, it worked fine for a day or so, then, the ENTER key ceased to work properly.
Since then, it is actually seen as a CMD key !!!
I know that it is likely my fault, because I played with Ukelele and key mapping
but I cannot restore the keypad to its original settings
Please note that I am NOT referring to the well known RETURN vs ENTER issue, nor to the combination of CMD and other keys (which is well addressed in FAQ section of the keypad guide).
This looks like a new, totally different, issue.
When I press the ENTER key on the LMP Keypad, it works exactly like if
it is a CMD key on the main keyboard.
Nothing more, nothing less than that.
(I double-checked with Ukelele, when I press ENTER on the LMP Keypad,
the two CMD keys on the keyboard layout light up).
The interesting thing is that if I pair that same LMP keypad to my MacBook Pro, the ENTER key on the keypad works fine !
So, the easy deduction, is that the malfunction should be caused by some wrong settings on my iMac.
I live in Europe, my Apple Wireless keyboard is ISO layout.
Because of my language settings, the decimal separator on the keypad is seen as a COMMA by default.
I wanted to change it, as I am used to have it as a DOT.
So I used Ukelele to play around.
I successfully managed to have the DOT where I wanted, but since then the ENTER key is showing this weird behaviour.
I removed Ukelele and all the customisations that I made on the keyboard settings, with no results: I cannot go back to the original ENTER function.
I have surfed the Internet for a week, trying to find a solution, but
with no results. I have asked the LMP's support (very responsive and kind) but - as I expected - they are at least as confused as me... (besides, that is not a device's problem...)
Have you any ideas?
Thank you
