External Numeric Keypad

Apparently I've played a lot of FFR on my computer, because I've somehow managed to wear holes in the down and right arrow keys. I can still play fine with the arrow keys, but decided to get a USB numeric keypad and try that. In general, it works OK and the keys offer the same pattern/set-up as the computer's arrow keys. However, there appears to be a small delay between pressing the key and the computer registering it in the game, because I get a lot more goods than normal on very easy songs (ones I should PC or at least SDG without real trouble). I think this may be from the computer having to recognize this as a numeric keypad press, because that indicator light goes on every time I press a key on the pad (and off when I release it). I'm probably going to keep trying it though and see if I can get used to it.
