Is there a keyboard I can get for the iMac 24” that has a numeric keypad but also with a NumLock key so I can turn NumLock OFF and use those keys as navigation keys (left, right, down, and up arrow keys)?

The Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad doesn't need a NumLock Key because it has separate navigation keys
Right, thank you—I find those navigation keys hard to manage but it looks like I may have to get used to them. I’m coming from the Windows world where most keyboards with a numeric keypad have the ability to use those “numeric” keys as navigation, and it’s hard to give that up. Those four arrow keys (numeric 1, 7, 3, and 9) just feel very comfortable in your hand, and pressing them is very intuitive (north, south, east, west) as they’re spaced much better than the tiny, cramped ones. I actually have an external keyboard for my 12.9” IPad Pro that does what I want, so I was hoping there’d be one for the iMac as well.
You can use non-Apple keyboards on Macs and Windows keyboards can be set up as required. If you have a suitable older USB keyboard give it a try. There are third party apps which can configure a keyboard if required.
I'm intrigued - can you suggest any of these third party apps that can configure a keyboard? Can the Magic Keyboard be configured in this manner?
Keyboard for iMac that allows navigation (arrow) keys on numeric keypad?
