Is it possible to make the Numpad 5 button work as the Numpad Down button while Num Lock is on?

I hope someone can help me out with this; I use a laptop and I like to play games a lot that are arrow key dependent. So after a while of using my laptop, I accidentally broke the Down Arrow key. So I decided to try and find out how to make the Numpad5 button work as the Numpad Down button while Numlock is on. I was trying to use AutoHotkey, but so far I've had no luck. Can anyone help me out with this?

So far the scripts I used that didn't work were Numpad5::NumpadDown or Numpad5::Down. Am I doing something wrong here?

  • Open the ahk-window by double-clicking the pictogram (right below in the taskbar).
  • View menu: Key history and script info.
  • Press numpad 5 while numlock is off
  • Press F5 to see the VK code of numpad5.

My keyboard numpad5 is 0C, so the script is:

vk0C::NumpadDown

In case anyone like me find this page by wanting the same thing, the answer is NumpadClear::NumpadDown
