<sidebar>Sidebar: What Is a Component</sidebar> A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block or "pad", these buttons are labelled with digits (numerals), symbols and sometimes alphabetical letters. For example, telephones and mobile phones have a set of numbers 0-9, all alphabetical letters, usually in a set of 3 on each key, and symbols such as the asterisk (*) and the hash tag(#).


A number based keypad can be called a numeric keypad, also known as "numpads", these are often used on computer keyboards, digital and numerical based locks such as combination locks.

Calculators are numerical and symbol based, having a set of numbers 0-9 from bottom to top, like a computer numberpad, with a set of simple symbols to the right and above the numbers, advanced and 'scientific' calculators have even more buttons and functions, usually to the topside of the keypad/calculator.


The default set of keypads components in Flowcode consist of the Keypad Base, Keypad EB014 which is a common numpad specifically made for the EB014 E-block, Keypad Hex which Keypad Cursor
