apple pro keyboard problem

I'm somewhat familiar with this type of thing - not with Macs, but I found the same thing with a brand new Toshiba Satellite 2400 laptop my father bought, and also a keyboard I bought when I had my PC. My dad returned the laptop and got a new one, just as I did the keyboard.
I'm sure if you knew what to do or if someone here tolled you what to do it would probably be more trouble than you would want (which would prefferably be none at all, presumingly).

I suggest simply returning it and getting a replacement. Its' a fualty product, and probably just a 'one-off' at that, but I'm sure the good people at your local Apple store would want to know about it.

 

Return it, it is broken.

 

Then, again... that would make typing more interesting. Heck, if you break a few other components (say, all the vowels) you could have a really interesting computer experience.

The num lock key has no effect on the numbers on the keypad for Mac OS. It's only labeled that, as some keys are, to facilitate using the keyboard with a Windows emulator. (Notice the alt label on the option key.)
