Hi Of course it is possible. And what you do not like the system numeric keypad? ---

Hi there, If your keyboard is contained in a Column or Row, you can put a Button where your Text Input is and have a block that says ‘when Display\_Button Click show Keyboard\_Column’. The following blocks would then help you use your Keyboard to type on the Display\_Button: ![keyboard_blocks](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/5/05d1cf7174968b42efb34f911223fffd7fe05145.png) You’ll need blocks like the ‘When 1\_Button Click’ blocks for every input Button in your Keyboard, where ‘char’ is the Text of whatever Button you click. Hope that helps! ---

I have another question too… if you see… the first 0 numbers you need put other value, so all 0 are in the center from text\_imput… But under the total are labels and the 0 is on the top… i need this 0 is in the center… i put all textalign “center” but i dont know why in the text\_imput he is perfect and in the label is on top… First, because he deforme my layout. Second, dont have the “ok” button to close numeric keypad… Third, i think better have someone like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/4/e451e7d784f6e2c8fce56bc37f5e9889f011109b.jpeg) Because is a smaller keyboard and i can put one “ok” button to close this keyboard and can use the app again, in the numeric keypad original i dont know how to close, i think click in another part to close but not happens ---

Now it is clear that you need a custom keyboard. As I said, this can be done in Thunkable X. To do this, the buttons must be placed in the Column with absolute positioning. ---
