| I have been using this wireless 10-key numberpad/calculator for about 2 months and would have say it's pretty nice.
The pro's are that you can use it as a separate calculator and then just hit the send button to input your answer into a cell in microsoft excel. Another big pro for myself is the location of the backspace key (and the fact that it has one). Note that it is directly diagonal to the number 9 key and not one space higher like one of the other wireless 10-keys.
I use a numberpad a lot and do a lot of traveling so it works great. Although there is one con about this item; If you don't use it for a certain amount of time (not sure the exact amount, maybe 10 minutes) it will shut off. You may forget that it shut off when you go to use it again and then soon after realize that you have to turn it back on and possibly have to hit the "NUM LOCK" key each time to make sure that you can enter your digits. Another con would be the bulkiness of the usb wireless piece that plugs into your computer. You will most likely have to remove it each time you pack up to travel (unlike my wireless mouse, see below)
Also it comes with a small travel size mouse. I have not even attempted to use it though because I use the Logitech Nano wireless mouse, which I highly recommend.
All in all it sure beats having the mess of a numberpad with a cord and having a separate calculator. Definately worth the buy.
| | I have replaced the batteries and the mouse and keypad has a range of about 6 inches from the dongle. It is the worst wireless device I have ever used as faar as the range goes!!!! I gave it 3 stars because it does work as stated you just need a usb extender and tape the dongle to the keypad!!!!! Too bad, I really wanted this to work.
| | not much to say - it does what it's supposed to do - convenient for travel - just what i was looking for
| | Mouse is very small. Ok for my hand but not for my husband's. Calculator's keys are a bit hard touch, meaning you have to pound them a bit to get them to work. Mouse is already worn out and needs to have the battery replaced. Overall, I feel this product is good for minimal, travel use but not every day use.
| | The mouse failed within a month or so. One of the reasons I bought this one is to have one less dongle. The dongle, by the way, is huge and blocks access to an adjacent USB port. I use the keypad less than I did my old wired one because it "goes to sleep" after a few minutes and requires two specific keystrokes to wake it up before you can enter data. If I had right side USB, I'd go back to wired.
