How to Switch Between Numpad, Calculator, and Stream Dock Modes on MiraBox N1
storeMirabox
The MiraBox N1 combines three operating modes in one compact device:
- Numpad Mode
- Calculator Mode
- Stream Dock Console Mode
Numpad Mode and Calculator Mode are onboard functions, so they work without the StreamDock software. Console Mode connects the N1 to the software, allowing you to create custom shortcuts and improve daily desktop productivity within the MiraBox Ecosystem.
Numpad Mode
Numpad Mode allows the MiraBox N1 to work like the numeric keypad on a standard keyboard.
You can use it for:
- Entering numbers
- Editing spreadsheets
- Filling in numeric data
- Using Num Lock functions
This is an onboard mode and does not require the StreamDock software.
When Num Lock is switched on or off, some keys perform different functions, just like a standard keyboard numpad.

Calculator Mode
Calculator Mode turns the N1 into a basic calculator for simple calculations.
It supports common operations such as:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division
The calculation process and result are displayed on the device screen.
Calculator Mode is also an onboard function, so it can be used without opening the StreamDock software.
Stream Dock Console Mode
Console Mode connects the MiraBox N1 to the StreamDock software and turns it into a customizable control device.
In this mode, you can assign different actions to the keys and controls, including:
- Opening applications and files
- Running keyboard shortcuts
- Controlling multimedia
- Managing creative software
- Using StreamDock plugins
- Switching between custom pages
- Creating personalized workflows
The StreamDock software must be running, and the N1 must be recognized correctly, before Console Mode becomes available.
How to Switch Between N1 Modes
Follow these steps to change the operating mode:
- Press and hold the knob on the N1.
- Keep the knob pressed while rotating it.
- Continue rotating to browse the available modes.
- Stop at the mode you want to use.
The device screen and key layout will change according to the selected mode.
Why Is Console Mode Unavailable?
If the StreamDock software is closed or the N1 is not recognized correctly, the device can only switch between its two onboard modes:
- Numpad Mode
- Calculator Mode
To access Console Mode:
- Connect the N1 to your computer.
- Open the StreamDock software.
- Confirm that the N1 appears in the device list.
- Press and rotate the knob again.
- Select Console Mode.
If Console Mode is still unavailable, reconnect the N1 and restart the StreamDock software.
Final Thoughts
The MiraBox N1 offers three modes for different tasks. Numpad Mode is designed for numeric input, Calculator Mode handles basic calculations, and Stream Dock Console Mode provides customizable shortcuts and controls.
To switch modes, press and hold the device knob while rotating it. Remember that the StreamDock software must be running and the N1 must be recognized before you can enter Console Mode.
