Review on πŸ’» Targus Ultra Mini USB Keypad: Efficient Plug-and-Play Device with USB Port Connectors - Compatible with Laptops, Desktops, and More! by Nicole Rogers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite ready for Vista!

I bought this keyboard for my HP Pavilion DV6675US 15.4" entertainment laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T7250, 4 GB RAM, 250 HDD, Vista Ultimate) because I use a lot of engineering software and excel but i was deeply disappointed the first time i plugged in a device that was supposed to be vista capable.tried to find drivers for this device but they are NOT there.i have written to targus support and they weren't very helpful they asked me to try again and again by deleting the device from the device manager in win but it had no effect values .after much time and many rehearsals i found that you, after windows can't find the drivers need to select the location manually and go to windows/system32 folder find the subfolders and it installs the p drive and works this needs to be done 4-5 times because the drivers for r the keyboard and the USB hub (2 USB 1.1 ports) supplied with the keyboard. I know it's probably not Targus' fault, but you should take a closer look. carefully before marking a VISTA READY product. By the way, it works perfectly in XP, real plug and play. In terms of specs that the keyboard offers, everything is fine, nothing more and nothing less than what you would expect from a $10 USB keyboard. You just need to be careful when typing 0 if you are used to regular keyboard. For XP I would give 5 stars but for Vista it's barely 3 stars.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Almost everything there
