I haven't tried a USB numeric keypad but think it ought to work that way.

On a machine with a PS/2 port, I connected both a PS/2 keyboard and a USB
keyboard and input worked from both.  Of course the USB keyboard driver has
to recognize that the USB device is one that the keyboard driver will work
with.  Also on the USB keyboard, for keys \_ and \| to work, either the
kernel has to be sufficiently recent or you have to patch two files (one
line each) and rebuild the kernel.
