I get the point of removing the number row in a portable keyboard, but... how do you actually type them? I don't see numbers as alternates on any keys. Do you have to exclusively use the screen, or is there a key combination you have to remember?
Layers. Like you would access capitalization by pressing shift, I access a num keyboard on the right (that lights up in blue) when I press a key. You can customize your own layouts and layers and it's quite important to do so with a small keyboard like this. I can type equally fast on this thing, as I set commonly used punctuation marks next to my thumbs and moved the ctrl/tab/shift keys to places that are easier to reach.
Aha! That makes sense. Like I said, I know we all use numbers far less often...
