Review on πŸ’» Targus AKP11US Wireless Numeric Keypad - Full-Size Keys, Nano USB Receiver, Improved Accuracy, Battery Life Indicator - Windows, macOS, Chromebook Compatible (Black) by Gary Shakeone

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works for my purposes, but a more demanding user might not like it

I never have enough workspace (and always too many cables) in my home office. So I decided to ditch my USB keyboard and try wireless. Other reviewers' complaints about the range are valid; I've found that keystrokes reset unless the keyboard is within a few feet of the receiver (and there aren't many obstacles in between). OTOH, within those limits, the keyboard usability is perfectly acceptable, and the wireless usability is great. But I "don't really work with numbers" - I just often need to enter a numeric passcode, and I prefer an external keyboard to a laptop keyboard. For casual use, this is fine; I would say it's not recommended for a true NPU as even within range it *sometimes* resets the keypress.

Pros
  • Full-size keys are comfortable and oversized for greater accuracy
Cons
  • New competitors are here
