External Numpad that sends proper numpad keycodes

Does anyone know of an external numpad the sends the proper numpad keycodes?

I just bought a Macally USB Numeric Keypad but the numbers send keycodes for the numbers above the qwerty row. Some of the software I use (Pro tools, Spectacle) and some OSX keyboard shortcuts I set up require the numpad input.

Does anyone know an external numpad (i'm using an 80% keyboard) which does this OR know how to get this Macally numpad to send or OSX to receive the proper numpad keycodes

iOS 11.2.6, null

On Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad, what does the CLEAR key do? On the Magic Keyboard with a numeric keypad that comes with the iMac 24", what does the CLEAR key on the numeric keypad do? I'm hoping it's essentially the same as turning off NumLock on a Windows keyboard, so you can use those "numeric" keys as navigation keys to move around your document--the 4, 8, 6, and 2 keys navigate left, up, right, down, etc. Can anyone confirm that it does this?
