 Good Product with a Couple of Flaws November 11, 2009
O. Harris (Landrum, SC)
I assume that this product does what it states it should do and has a couple of very useful features. 1. I can enter numbers directly into the computer or I can put it into calc mode, do the math, and then send the results to the computer. It also has a memory function like a regular calculator 2. I can use the Num Lock to navigate around the computer screen.
I would love the product, but it has two huge flaws. 1. As almost every reviewer has stated, it falls asleep. I also ask the question: WHY? It happens so often that it makes the product almost useless. I can always get it to turn back on, but I haven't learned yet which key to push. If it is going to go into sleep mode, I should be able to awake it by touching any key. 2. It is too small. Think of this as a calculator, not a keypad. I cannot comfortablely use it the way I can a keypad because the keys are too close together.
I do need a keypad. I wish I had ordered something else, but I doubt it is worth paying the shipping cost of having it returned.
 Great keypad September 14, 2009

Great product that works fine. Only issue is that you have to remember to "wake up" keypad after a period of inactivity. Other than that it's a great attachment for anyone needing a keypad.
LCD Panel Only In Calculator Mode June 17, 2009
B. Roper (Oklahoma)
It works well for most people.
I actually ordered several of these for the LCD panel to use as a sort of PIN pad. However, I ended up returning all that I ordered, because the LCD panel only works in calculator mode. Most people probably don't need more than that; but if you do, don't buy this one. I couldn't find this information on the item description here or at the manufacturer's web site; however, a call to the manufacturer confirmed this.
Really useful for accountants March 19, 2009

This is an awesome product for people who use numbers a lot, but don't want a 17" laptop. Works with my Vista Business although it doesn't say it on the box.
The usb ports are so handy. Wish the screen was bigger and I wish (although probably not realistic) that it had ".00" option.
Love it.
Works... but a little disappointing. February 20, 2009
Thomas Butler Jr. (Ocala, FL)
The product works OK; however, it does have a few minor annoying flaws. I have to turn the unit on to get it to work with my iMac. The keys are smallish and it doesn't feel robust. I would recommend this to a heavy number-cruncher who wants to use it with a laptop on the go. My purpose for buying was because the tiny Mac keyboard had no numeric keypad... plus it doesn't have enough USB ports.
