your other option is to upgrade the stick's board to the newest revision. x-arcade.com has an upgrade board (in the x-adapters section, the usb upgrade) that no longer requires the numlock to work (uses the arrow keys instead of the numberpad keys). I had to upgrade my solo stick (oldest one didn't support usb) and that was one of the new features that I also got with it. It also doesn't require you to press the program button twice to enable a custom codeset (another nice feature)
