I haven ever run into this problem because I correctly uset he softare
youcan set it up to turn on and off the keypad when needed I can still
enter numbers from the num pad with asap asaw jaws and jfw you just have
to be proficient in the software.

As for not using it on Linux tell me how many software aplications have
you actually used the key pad on I have used Linux now for 4 years and my
num pad still has dust on it.
