Review on πŸ”’ Macally Bluetooth Wireless Number Pad - 22 Keys 10 Key Bluetooth Numeric Keypad with Arrow Keys for Easy Data Entry - Number Keypad for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Apple, iPhone, iPad and Desktop by Jim Bijelic

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not unhappy enough to return but wouldn't buy again

Was a bit disappointed with this number pad. Feels cheap. Plastic and key stop. Not very responsive when trying to establish a Bluetooth connection. And unlike other devices I use (keyboard, mouse, etc.); Every time it gets disconnected I have to go back to settings to manually reconnect it. Doesn't perform Bluetooth auto-repeat. The instructions on how to put it into Bluetooth mode printed on the box are incorrect. The instructions that came in the box were correct. I'd say it's on par with others selling for $20 or less. (I paid a little more). However, I expected a bit more quality here. It was marked as a sale ($26 I think) and reduced from $39. So I figured I was actually making good profits from the higher quality. But no. It really seems on par with all other options for $20 and under. This brand has another one that looks like it's probably more premium than this one. In the same order of magnitude that I paid for it. But he has no arrows. And also does not use a standard battery. So this one wins. (I prefer something that doesn't need to be reloaded at the worst times.) Once connected, it stays connected until it turns off. And it works. I wasn't very impressed but it will help me get through the semester. I think this may be the first time I leave a Revain review below 5 stars.
