Unable to accept input numbers after I use p inputMask, add a comma for numbers more than 999

For the input text field below, User can enter the values between one and 99,999. Enter only numbers.

<p:message for="usage" display="text"><p:autoUpdate/></p:message>
<p:inputText id="usage" maxlength="10" required="true"
    requiredMessage="You must provide an input" value="#{powerMB.usage}">  
    <f:validateDoubleRange minimum="1" maximum="99999" for="usage" />   
    <p:keyFilter regEx="/[0-9]/i"  />         
</p:inputText>

Current Input values accept - examples

1 
34                      
99
3534
53535

I have tried to mask a specific input values as per

How to restrict Primefaces inputMask to numbers only?

https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/input/inputMask.xhtml

Tried to add a comma for numbers more than 999

I receive the following error for the code below

usage: Validation Error: Value is not of the correct type

<p:message for="usage" display="text"><p:autoUpdate/></p:message>
<p:inputMask id="usage" maxlength="5" required="true"
    requiredMessage="You must provide an input" mask="99,999" value="#{powerMB.usage}">  
    <f:validateDoubleRange minimum="1" maximum="99999" for="usage" />   
</p:inputMask>

Input Given as 

1       fail validation error
34      fail                
99      fail
3534    fail
53535   fail


00,001      fail validation error
00,034      fail                
00,099      fail
03,534  fail
053,535 fail

Can provide a full working code of the existing functionality if needed.

This is not the answer to your requirement but it is an explanation on why you see the behaviour you see.

All your failures are easily explained...

The comma is required so all these rightfully fail

1       fail validation error
34      fail                
99      fail
3534    fail
53535   fail

Secondly your maxLength is 5 so all these rightfully fail since the length is 6

00,001      fail validation error
00,034      fail                
00,099      fail
03,534      fail

And this fails for a combination of reasons

053,535     fail

SNAFU

To make the comma optional look for better matching patterns. It is for me beyond the effort I want to put in this.
