Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

This numpad should rather complement not the Apple keyboard, but the A4 tech keyboard. In this case, there will be no disappointment when switching from a set of letters to a set of numbers, the quality and tactile sensations vary greatly, not in favor of satechi

Pros
  • it looks beautiful in the pictures, it performs the function of a numpad
Cons
  • Build quality, has a bend in consequence of which does not touch the surface with all legs. Feels like a cheap, low-profile A4 tech keyboard.

Perfect product for any user!

Has pros: Superbly expands the possibilities of an incomplete keyboard, in my case it makes working in Sibelius just a fairy tale. Its cons: The only and small one - it's better to install usb-c anyway. Unfortunately it's not here.)

All in all a great number

Obviously not the same quality as Apple products but foolish to expect. It's plastic. It connects quickly and stays connected. The buttons work fine. The design is similar to my space gray MacBook. The only issue I had was that one of the corners was slightly lifted off the table. I solved the problem by removing the top two rubber pads on the back. Now it lies perfectly flat on the table. The metal body is less prone to twisting. In general, I like using it.

Pros
  • Outstanding overall performance
Cons
  • Easy maintainability

Disappointing purchase

Three stars because it *might* meet some people's needs but definitely not mine. A bit disappointed so I returned it. Pros: Looks like the new Apple Bluetooth keyboards, at least on the outside. Cons: Build quality, while ok, doesn't live up to Apple's quality: button action is a little clunky, button labels are stickers (not sure how to wear them). The keyboard doesn't stay active (it goes to sleep and requires a keypress to wake up) The keyboard is missing a "=" key, making it unusable for…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Clarity

Good build quality, nice style.

I recently bought an iMac and just hated the keyboard that came with it. After typing in the mornings, I felt like I needed to put ice on my hands. The key drop is really short. I also didn't like that I didn't have a number pad. After a little research I found a suitable keyboard for me, but it didn't come with a number pad. I chose this one based on the Revain reviews. Satisfied, the installation did not take much time. I found that I really like having a separate number pad. Now I have a…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I'll write later

Similar design to Apple product

Ordered for recording outside of Protools. It is designed to look like an Apple product. But the target wasn't with Apple. The touch feeling also differs from the Apple keyboard. Too high expectations, big disappointment. But there is no problem to use it. . con. Only the design is the same as Apple's, not the same Apple finish. Poor tactile feel (like a cheap keyboard) Poor quality than expected, price higher than quality

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Not compatible with PC

Not compatible with PC. The description claims it's "compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Macs and PCs," but I have a 2018 HP Specter X360 with Windows 10 and it's not compatible. It connects normally to the Bluetooth, it just doesn't dial any numbers. The only keys that did anything were the "2" and "8" keys, but they just sent me up or down the page. I really wish it would work because it looks amazing, but I had to undo it because it wasn't working for me. I would give this 5 stars and…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Robust and reliable

We work with an iPad at the point of sale and need a key with 10 buttons. It was the cheapest Bluetooth I could find. So far very satisfied. Not cheap plastic like the USB 10 dongles I've used. We use it at school so I like that it stays in place; he remains as a student after the student has entered their IDs. Very glad it stays plugged in (I've had bad experiences with other BT keyboards). Just press a button to start it up every time you turn it on. I'll probably buy a few more. I was hoping

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Updates

Num Lock is good for computer accessories and peripherals

I was hoping this would be an addition to my laptop for alphanumeric input. To enter numbers, you must turn on Num Lock ("clear" on the numeric keypad). Then when I had to type the words I had to turn it off because my keyboard also had Num Lock on and that happened by accident. Not very suitable for data entry where I need to switch from letters to numbers quickly. The lack of arrows, home, page up, and page down markers on the numeric keypad led me to believe it was purely a numeric keypad…

  • Quality construction
Cons

Works well, fits Apple keyboard perfectly.

Pretty good keyboard. It connected to my iMac on the first try and works great. It looks great next to my Apple keyboard. The metal finish doesn't quite match, but it's close enough. The charging port is on the back, so you can use it while charging. Like the others, mine didn't sit flat on the table, but a small piece of tape on a small rubber foot on the back wall kept it in place discreetly; doesn't matter much. As other reviewers have noted, the button labels are stickers which I find can…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Works as expected for my MBP

I do a lot of spreadsheet work on my laptop when I'm on long business trips in Asia and have always used the numeric keypad to enter data. I can't stand typing numbers in a row on a regular keyboard. I had a Bluetooth keyboard with two extra columns of keys that I hardly ever used and required two AA batteries, so it was bigger than it should have been and I didn't have to think about batteries when traveling. But the worst thing about this keyboard was that it kept separating from my new MBP…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here
