A computer keyboard usually contains a small [[numpad|numeric keypad]] with a calculator-style arrangement of buttons duplicating the numeric and arithmetic keys on the main keyboard to allow efficient entry of numerical data. This number pad (commonly abbreviated to "numpad") is usually positioned on the right side of the keyboard because most people are right handed.
 
Many [[laptop|laptop computers]] have special function keys which turn part of the alphabetical keyboard into a numerical keypad as there is insufficient space to allow a separate keypad to be built into the laptop's chassis. Separate plug-in keypads can be purchased.
