4A must-have for mobile spreadsheet jockeys.Oct 13, 2004
By Keith Cumpston
I'm not sure why I went so long without this handy little gadget. I can now build my spreadsheets at double-speed.

I chose this particular model because you can unplug it and use it as a basic calculator, eliminating the need to carry another tool around. Compared to other calculator models, this one is small and lightweight. I can actually carry it in my shirt pocket with no discomfort (yes, I admit...I'm a geek). Alas, the compact size means that the buttons are closer together than on a standard 10-key. But the difference is small, and after a few days my fingers adjusted.

The detachable USB cable has a nifty mechanism so you can coil it up inside itself for easy packing. The plug-and-play installation was quick and seamless on Windows XP. The whole thing works like a charm.

1Do not buy for MacNov 07, 2007
By Andy Newell
I bought this product because I had just bought a beautiful new wireless keyboard for my Mac. The keyboard does not have a numeric keypad on it. In the past, I have never had a problem with Kensington products, but this one would not work to save it's life, hence I returned it. If you have a Mac, do not think this product is plug and play, because it's not. I was never able to get it to work. I bought instead a Goldtouch Apple compatible keypad and it worked immediately.... total plug and play. If you want ease of use, go with the Goldtouch. BTW, Amazon as always was fantastic at taking the gear back and issuing a refund. They're the best. No questions asked, no equivocations. Hope this helps.

4Perfect add-on for MacBook ProMar 12, 2007
By Clifford A. Rabon "music maestro"
I have been looking for a number keypad to supplement my MacBook Pro for quite a while. Have been using another brand that lacked a delete (backspace) key, forcing me to go to the main key to clear a character entry mistake. This has it all, Delete, Tab, plus a Calculator mode which "turns off" the key pad and turns it into a calculator, allowing you to use as a full featured calculator, then SEND the result as keystrokes to the computer (say GOODBYE to Quickens sickeneningly simplistic built-in "calculator!").

Why not 5 stars? Initial set-up is just a bit misleading, as the keyboard assistant automatically pops up, asking you to identify the new usb keyboard by entering keys that obviously don't exist on the truncated keypad. The set-up indicates a failure to identify the keypad, which might lead you to believe that the keypad will not work, boxing the whole thing up, and returning it to sender. Do not be deceived! Just ignore the message. It works flawlessly, and you never get the keyboard assistant again. One more nit-pick: no led to indicate Num Lock activation. As one who tends to type without looking, I've gone 10-12 characters only to realize that I had somehow de-activated num lock. Over-all, a solid addition to your laptop bag!!

5Works fine on iBook G4Jul 10, 2008
By ReaderAndSeeker
I almost didn't buy this because of the negative reviews, esp. concerning using this keypad on Macs.

I got it anyway. It works fine!

Yes, when you plug it in, you will get a message saying that the computer can't recognize the keypad. Just close that message box. THIS MESSAGE WILL ONLY APPEAR ONCE.

The keypad works fine.

I find this keypad indispensable for number-crunching on my iBook G4. I'm happy with it just for that. But it's calculator function is icing on the cake... especially when you can send the calculator's results to the document you are working on with the touch of a button.

Bottom line: if you need a keypad for your computer, this is it. It works.

1No good for my G4 PowerbookFeb 24, 2008
By Product lover
I kept this thing and it does work as both a calculator and a keypad. However, if left plugged in to the USB port, the battery drains very quickly. I don't move my laptop very often and wanted to be able to leave the keypad plugged in for any numeric entries I might need. By having to unplug it every time after use, and not be a heavy number cruncher, it is more of a hassle most of the time to attach the unit than to hunt and peck at the top for a few numbers. The keyboard layout is also not nearly as easy to use as the numeric pad on the keyboard that I have from an old iMac. I was able to enter numbers easily with that pad without looking but do not find the same ease of use with this unit. A great disappointment for me although I'm still using it. The power problem seems to me like an easy fix by simply adding a power on/off button, which it does not have.
