Anyone playing MSFS with a laptop without a NUMPAD?

Anyone currently (July 2021) playing MSFS on a laptop? What are your specs? What fps are you getting in 1080p with Ultra settings? If your laptop doesn’t have a NUMPAD, do you just use an external USB NUMPAD? How does it work in the sim?

I recently did a search and could not find any meaningful or recent response on laptops without a NUMPAD. Would appreciate recent experience of active users, as this is particular a lot of $$.

An USB numpad works as well in MSFS as in Excel or others progs.
And you can find some for less than $5.
Not a subject.
:wink:

I use an external full size k/b Corsair (gamers type) connected with USB (wired k/b) works fine. not the expensive type, I get between 30 and 50 fps in my Lenovo 7i with 1080p and Ultra, NVidia 2700 max, 8 Gb and 16 GB RAM, I use the screen for Mapping apps, it’s connected to a 27 in BenQ monitor HDMI, because all my peripherals, the lap top seat high and away from me. I have the Alpha and Bravo plus 3 Saitek panels, MFG Rudder Pedals, Xbox controller, etc. I use the k/b very minimal and the mouse to change screens. If you don’t have extra peripherals a good k/b directly connected will work best for you.

Thank you - this is helpful.
