💻 Alcey Bluetooth Number Pad - 22 Keys Multi-Function Numeric Keypad for Laptop/Desktop/PCs/Notebook, Cool Gray Review

After checking work on the go, I hate entering grades into Excel using only the top row of numbers. This keyboard connects easily via Bluetooth, so you don't need to bring an extra cable. After the initial setup, I just turn on the keyboard and it connects automatically!

This product goes well with my matching MacBook. My only complaint is that if it's been idle for too long, it takes a minute to wake up, which is why it doesn't register your first number. Although it works great if you use it all the time. Initial connection was a bit confusing but I read the reviews which helped me.

At first I liked this keyboard because it is thin, light and wireless. I bought this to replace a USB dongle keyboard that I lost. In the beginning it mostly worked. But I had problems with the bluetooth connection. It's too inconsistent. It is very cumbersome to enter numbers on the keyboard that are not displayed on the laptop.

Numeric keyboard works great. I knew this in advance, but some features don't work on a Mac, including arrow keys, Num Lock, and a dedicated key to open the Calculator app. Also, it was difficult to initially pair this device with the MacBook. Opening the keyboard in System Preferences and selecting Set up Bluetooth keyboard did the trick as it eventually showed up as an option to pair. After the first pairing, it now connects quickly and automatically when switched on.

The only frustrating thing about this product is that when I wake up, there is a 30 second delay between what I type and what's on the screen. This resulted in me having to double-tap several times. However, this is not such a big issue to justify the loss of a star. It is smooth. The Bluetooth design is perfect, I can move it anywhere on my desk and it's still usable. The buttons are easy to press. The design is perfect in my opinion. Sleep delay is the only downside I found.
