Review on Wireless Number Pad: Portable Mini USB 2.4GHz Financial Accounting Numeric Keypad for Excel Data Entry on Laptop, PC, Desktop, Surface Pro, Notebook by Sheila Vaughn

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Note the numeric arrangement

I work with numbers in my life. I use the numeric portion of my regular keyboard or calculator A LOT for quick typing. Now that I use my laptop for work at home I bought this item to attach it to be able to type in numbers like I normally would. The problem with this device is that the layout doesn't match the keyboard I'm used to. In particular, the presence of a space where normally there would be a large plus sign. I also don't like the '000' key and am used to a capital '0' in this place. Although this can be a matter of preference and many keyboards have this layout. If you're buying this for shortcode make sure you know what layout you're used to. It doesn't work for me and I'm now buying another online because I can't work with this item. Also, I've found that the Bluetooth portion of this product means it "goes to sleep" and I can't figure out how to wake it up easily. I always end up calling and when I try to wake him up I find that he doesn't answer or blocks the number. Again I buy another and get wired because I don't have time for this mess.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Contemporary
