The connection mode is toggled via keypress for either wired or bluetooth modes. When the numpad is in wired mode, it does not emit a bluetooth signal at all.
Does this work on macOS or Linux?

A
Yes, it works with both.

Keypad came fully functional with no bad terminals, installation of switches and keypads was quick and easy. Bluetooth pairing wasn’t quite as smooth as I thought it would have been, but I don’t really plan on using Bluetooth much. At the end of the day, it’s a number pad and it does it’s job nicely. I like that I can use the included software to remap the keys, though I don’t see myself doing much of that in the future.
