(5 out of 5)Great tool for notebooks!
I use my notebook for accounting & my standard notebook keyboard doesn't have a number pad. This handy little device offers quick launch keys to your pc's calculator, excel, & the internet without any prior set-up. It has a place on the back to store its USB connector & has a great little pouch to protect it from dings & scratches. I highly recommend this product! It's a little pricey, but anyone who uses their number keys a lot will be glad they splurged!
(2 out of 5)Doesn't work with Mac.
I just purchased a Macbook and will use both windows and mac on it.
This keypad works fine with the windows side, but the mac os doesn't see most of the buttons including the numbers!
It maybe the fault of the mac system.
(5 out of 5)Not Just For Noteboooks!
I bought this to replace a wired 10-key touch pad for my DESKTOP computer whose entertainment-focused keyboard lacks a 10-key, and I'm flat out impressed by the quality of the Logitech Cordless Number Pad "for Notebooks".
It's elegant and, so far, nearly flawless. There's no response time to wake it up as with some wireless products. The USB receiver fits nicely into the unit and the carrying case, Excel/Calculator/Internet Explorer buttons and energy-saving power button are all nice features. Also, since it's wireless, there's less clutter on my desk now!
The only thing I can't comment on yet is the battery life since I've only had the product for a week. If the unit lives up to its "6-month battery life" claim, I'll go so far as to say this is one of my most recommended purchases.
The only improvement I'd wish for is Bluetooth capability to free-up the USB port the wireless receiver requires.
FOLLOW UP: I ended up getting a little over 2 months of battery life off of 24/7 use of this device. That's a little short of the 6 month claim, but I think it's fairly impressive, nonetheless!
(4 out of 5)Bluetooth
I really do like this number pad. I recently bought the DiNovo Edge keyboard and love it with one exception, it doesn't have a number pad. I use spreadsheets enough that I feel I need a numberpad, so I bought this and it's great with two exceptions.
The radio receiver is pretty big. If I have the laptop on my lap and want to use the number pad, the receiver is awkward, in the USB ports. Second Logitech can't seem to settle on a standard 2.4 GHZ or Bluetooth. I wish they would settle on one and release everything with which ever they choose. I tried plugging just one of the receivers into a USB port and hoped it would receognize both the number pad and the keyboard, but I couldn't get the two wo work, unless both receivers were plugged in, 2.4 GHz and my bluetooth receiver. Ao in order to use the diNovo Keyboard and this numberpad, I have to use 2 USB ports. Not a major problem, but annoying and prevents me from giving this item a 5.
(4 out of 5)Good accessory, but lacks "clear" button
This is a good number pad keyboard for laptops. Extremely easy to connect and install (just plug in the included USB dongle, which stores in a slot underneath the device when not in use). No software is required. Comes with nice case. Keypad has sturdy feel and the keys are equivalent to that of a standard keyboard, except for the additional "tab", and top row of buttons "=", "(", ")", and "Back". For some inexplicable reason, the keypad does not have a "clear" key. Instead of having quicklauch keys for Excel and IE at the top row, it would be nice to have a "clear" key. Saves having to use the mouse with the calculator. In the alternantive, it would be cool if the keys were customizable like most other Logitech devices.
