I couldn’t find how to do this anywhere.  
I keep accidentally hitting the Num key and it throws off my flow. I don’t really use it and would like to disable it. I have Arduino up and running and can modify the firmware mappings. I’m just unsure what to edit/change. Any tips?

I might have answered my own question after a bit of digging.  
The key to overwrite is `LockLayer(NUMPAD)`.
