Macally Bluetooth Number Pad for Laptop - Rechargeable Wireless Numeric Keypad - Slim 35 Key Wireless Number Pad for Data Entry, 10 Key Numpad Compatible with Mac, MacBook, iPad, PC Desktop, Windows

Have only used this for a week, but so far I'm impressed. I can't comment on the battery life but it seems to run a long time, and is easy to recharge. Haven't run the battery fully down.For the record, I purchased this item. It paired with my MacBook Pro quickly. The MacOS couldn't identify the keypad, and asked for a few keys to be pressed. That didn't register with the computer so it gave me the option of just saying "ANSI keyboard", which I selected, and all was well.I turn the unit off when not in use, but if you don't use it for a bit, it goes to sleep. I haven't had any issues with the computer recognizing it when I turn it on or wake it up. Using the program "PCalc" on the laptop makes for effortless numerical input and speeds up data entry.All in all I have had good luck with Macally products, and this one is no exception. If I later find issues I will amend this review; but as of now, at this price-point it is an excellent product, with a brand name I've come to trust, well made and not cheap "junk" like some of the cheapies. Those who posted negative reviews may have gotten bad keypads but mine is not one of them!

Seems like a quality product, feels solid, no issues with setup, battery life so far is excellent.

I have loved Macally's products since the early '90s, and always found their products to be well built.This product is no exception, with one major caveat.This product is NOT suited for gaming, as there are serious issues with the keys timing out, when certain key combinations are pressed.For me, it was the "4" key (forward with my key bindings) that would stop registering, when I held it down, while hitting the "Enter" key (Jump), alternating between "1" and "3" (left and right strafe), and firing with the "5" key.My forward motion would just stop suddenly, in the middle of all of that, until I released the "4" key, then pressed it again.This is obviously not ideal for a gaming setup.My only other complaint about this product, which is not exclusive to this product, is that it sits too low to the table, for my taste.I found my Logitech keyboard to be the same way, and had to put 1/4" risers on the bottom of both products, to bring them up to a more comfortable level for me.I knew I would have to do this going in, so it wasn't a deal breaker for me, but is worth mentioning.I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this for its intended purpose, as an add-on to a smaller keyboard, for entering data, and general typing/navigation.It works beautifully in that capacity.The keys are very responsive, when pressed individually.It's key-chording that they have issues with because this product was apparently not designed with gaming in mind.

Because of the nature of my work, I like to have my right hand on my mouse, and my left hand on a numeric keypad. When traveling, I use a small keyboard--without the numeric side access--so this is a great compliment/extension.However, the "=" (equal) sign does not work in my most used program (app).It is not uncommon for some keys not to work, but for this particular item, only this one key malfunctions.That said, I recommend this product.:-)

I use 3D software and it has a lot of extra functionality in the numpad. Unfortunately the MacBook Air doesn't have one. I gave this a try and its great. Very easy to connect by Bluetooth, keeps a charge forever (I haven't needed to recharge in the month I've owned it) and the responsiveness is instant. I can grab this along with a bluetooth mouse and have a fully functioning setup for design and 3D.

Lasted about 14 months with very light use (maybe 20 times in that period) and then the 7,8,9 keys stopped working. Initial connectivity was good though but not worth the money.

I had to buy a new iMac and decided I didn't want the extended keyboard as I find it cumbersome. But I do like a keypad for entering numbers so I gave this item a try. It is working great for me. I an easily use my standard Apple keyboard while keeping this keypad on the side of my desk ready to use when I need it. A perfect solution for me!

The first one I received had one defective key..the "paste" key was stuck. I returned for a replacement. The second was ok, some mushy keys, but I decided to keep it. The keypad easily connects to my MacBook Pro via bluetooth and it seems to be working fine. The battery lasts for months without need for charge, but there is no way to see what the battery charge actually is, a major downside in my opinion. Apple bluetooth devices show charge status, why can't this device do the same? The aluminum top casing of the keypad is nice. But the keys are terrible. They feel mushy and cheap, and definitely do not feel as solid as keys on my MacBook Pro or Magic Keyboard. The keys need to be depressed at the Centerpoint. If you do not hit the keys at the right spot, your digits will not be registered. Simply put, this keypad is a cheap piece of junk. I'm already thinking about throwing it away to try another.
