Functionally it's great. It feels solid. The case material is a "soft" plastic, pleasing to the touch. The keys also feel nice with a pleasing contoured shape. After switching it to bluetooth mode, it syncs up quickly. I haven't had to charge it since my first initial charge. It does have an auto-off for the LEDs after a period of inactivity. It's a solid device, and my computer experience is that much better with it here.
My only gripes are of a personal opinion nature. The big one is it's not hot-swapable. The switches are fine, but you're also stuck with them. Everyone has their own preference for switches, and these aren't Mine. I prefer tactile (these are linear), and I think it'd be fun to have some really clicky switches on this. I'd have paid more for a hot-swapable option. They key shapes and feel are excellent, but I bought the yellow one to help bring a splash of color to things. The black and grey keys aren't great in that regard. I instantly put my little beetle buddy on there, which helped, but I have to look for a pleasing option for the rest.
I like that I can use it as a basic calculator, or I can connect it wirelessly or wired to my computer. Used USB C to charge and works without any input delay.
It does what it’s supposed to do pretty well, no issues. The included keycaps are very ugly in person though.
would be a lot better if it were easier to open up and hotswap would be appreciated especially since there’s no options to order it was different switches. The stock stabilizers are terribly rattly and ticky and it’s difficult to fix them without desoldering the switches just to pull the PCB out, but this is extremely nitpicky and overkill for a numpad/calculator.
Overall I think that this was a great purchase. I really wanted a separate numpad so I could save room on my desk mat for my mouse and I saw this and thought having a calculator would be nice because sometimes when I'm programming it's nice to just have a calculator nearby and this satisfies that as well has to have the num pad. I do wish that I could take the number from the calculator and directly output that the the computer but thats my only real complaint I have about this everything else about it is fantastic.
A really darned good keypad/stand alone calculator
Which flavor do you prefer? USB, BlueTooth, or stand alone? This robust little NumPad/Calculator is well built, and it works great! I originally bought this for my wife to use with her MacBook, but I have decided that I need it a little bit more :)
I was looking for a wireless numpad in order to minimize the number of ports I need, and this one hits all the buttons (pun intended). You can use it as a calculator, a bluetooth enabled numpad or a USB-C numpad. There are fun colors to choose from, and the buttons are big and have a nice tactile feel to them. Occasionally, the bluetooth setting will lag in its responsiveness (so that the first number isn't inputted), but that generally happens upon first use of the day. I highly recommend it as a fun and useful (if not required) addition to your desk setup.
