At a guess, this refers to the 'Numeric Keypad' section of a full-sized PC (AT) keyboard. This is the block of keys to the right of the main 'QWERTY' (on an English keyboard) section which usually have cursor key functionality until the 'Numlock' is turned on.

The numeric keypad is intended for speedy data entry by experienced users but also sees considerable use in games, for a variety of functions, typically 'camera control'.
