Keypads

Keypad

— a specialized device in the form of a small (approximately 15 – 20 keys) keyboard under one hand; usually, it is complemented by a stand under the arm, and often also by side buttons for the thumb. Such devices are especially convenient for games and are mainly used in them — certain game actions can be attached to the keypad buttons (including those that are usually implemented through the menu or a key combination on a standard keyboard). The keypad can either complement the main keyboard or serve as a completely separate game pad.
