Hexadecimal numpad

The project I am currently working on requires a lot of hexadecimal numbers to be entered into the code.

I once saw a pic of an old keyboard with a hexadecimal numpad (has A-F letters on it also) replacing the normal numpad. Anyone know where I can get one of these?

Shouldn't the A-F keys be UNDER the 7-8-9 row?

@Outlaw Programmer, I dunno. Ask NASA. They probably ran a $10 million dollar usability study on why having A-F on the top was better. ;)

Great idea with the programmable keypad. I think i am going to pick up one of these: DX1 input system. Works for any reconfiguring I might want to do.

If it's a good idea, you could vote my answer up, or even mark it as the answer :) The pellets encourage good behavior.

Not sure of the specifics right now, but I'm pretty sure you can easily write a keyboard remapper. You could remap the QWASDF keys to ABCDEF in order to type them more quickly. That way you could use 2 hands to type. Or if you are in control of the program they are being typed into, you could just translate the keys in code on the fly. You also might want to try out the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator
