With all the mac addresses and in the next few years IPV6 address I'll be typing in I was looking around for a hex number pad, but not surprisingly there don't seem to be any, any of ya'll seen any? or think there is/will be a call for such an item?

It'll be like most things. Practice makes perfect.

You'll get used to it and I've seen people that don't use the number pad when typing IPs.

I was thinking about the months ago. I'm so used to entering IP's via the numpad as all the numbers and the period is all there. With IPv6 you have a-f and the damn colon.

There is already a patent out there which was created years ago. But no devices! It could simply be a usb or wireless pad sitting next to the keyboard, but nothing yet.

One hand for letters, one hand for numbers then remap one of the keys on the keypad to a colon.

I almost never use a number pad because I'm always on a laptop. My laptop has one of those little macro number pad things but I don't even know how to use it. After typing thousands upon thousands of IPs I'm pretty damned quick at it now. I'm getting pretty quick at IPv6 too, it's just a matter of doing it a lot I think.

I already have a HEX keyboard. It's a standard 102 key with ABCDEF on the main area and with two sets of numbers 1-0 above the main area and a separate number pad in a 3x3 configuration to the right of the main area of keys. The only down side is that the numbers and keys A-F are not immediately together. The plus side of course is that I know where A-F are without looking.

I can't live without my numpad. Even my Thinkpad E520 has one :)
