Satechi Slim Aluminum Bluetooth Keypad, Wireless Number Pad with 18 Keys, Micro USB Rechargeable Numpad, External Number Pad for MacBook Pro/Air M4/M3, iMac, iPad Pro/Air, PC - Silver

I do a lot of spreadsheet work on my laptop while I'm on my long business trips to Asia and have always used a numeric keypad for data entry. I can't stand typing in numbers from the normal keyboard in a row.I had a Bluetooth keypad that had two extra columns of buttons that I hardly ever used and which required two AA batteries, so it was bulkier than it needed to be and being mindful of the batteries wasn't something I needed during business trips. But the worst part of this keypad was that it kept disconnecting with my new MBP. It got so frustrating that I decided that I had to get a new keypad.I wanted Bluetooth (don't want one with another USB dongle to worry about losing) with a rechargeable battery and with a smallest possible footprint. These other function buttons may be nice to have but I realized that I was only keying in numbers on spreadsheets. The ability to use the cursor arrows would be nice but it's really just a matter of moving one's hand a few inches to the arrow buttons on the MBP.The space grey version matches up well enough with the space grey on the MBP. Even Apple's own space grey keyboard and trackpad do not match up exactly the same as the space grey on the MBP so I don't think a little mismatch is something to be bothered by.As far as I can tell, this Satechi keypad sits firmly on the desks I've tried it on and does not wobble at all. Sometimes, one has to be mindful about the evenness of the desk surfaces. The keys feel fine although quite different from those on the new MBP and the Apple keyboards as well. The Satechi keys feel a little spongier and that may bother some people but it doesn't bother me at all. It feels good to me and all the keys work fine.I really like it that it's so compact, can recharge through a USB micro port and, most all, that it doesn't disconnect constantly like my previous keypad did. It keeps me productive on the road with the least amount of hassles, is super portable and simply does what it's supposed to do.

This little keypad is awesome! It pairs so quickly and easily with my MacBook Air. When I stop using it, I can leave the power switch on, and the battery doesn't drain. It goes for days on a single charge. The keys have excellent responses! It's slim and easy to slip in the organizer pocket of my backpack. I bought this to replace my USB wired Satechi keypad, which I had for 13 years. If you're thinking about upgrading to the Satechi Buetooth, it's totally worth it! Also worth the extra money, if you're a first time buyer. This brand has been very reliable for me.

This is a pretty good keypad. It paired with my iMac on the first try and works great. It looks nice next to my Apple keyboard. The metal finish isn't an exact match, but it's close enough. The charging port is on the back, so you can use it while it's charging.Like others, mine didn't sit exactly flat on the desk, but one small piece of tape on the little rubber foot on the back fixed it invisibly; not a big deal.As other reviewers have noted the key labels are decals, and I guess they might wear with time. They are not exactly the same color as the Apple keyboard labels but are, again, close enough.Overall, I think that for the price this is a good product.I did NOT receive a discount or any other consideration in return for this review; I paid full retail price for this product.

These came really quickly and resolved our issue. They seem reliable and durable.

Not compatible with PC's. The description claims that it is "Compatible with Bluetooth-Capable Macs and PCs," however I have a 2018 HP Spectre X360 running windows 10 and it is not compatible. It connects to bluetooth just fine, it just doesn't type any numbers. The only keys that did anything were the "2" and "8" buttons, but that would only send me to the top or bottom of a page.I really wish this would've worked because it looks fantastic, but I had to return it because it didn't work for me.I would've given this 5 stars and recommend to anyone if it had actually functioned properly as a number keypad.

Overall a good keypad, but will not last very long. It matches the apple magic keyboard well and works well on both OSX and Windows 7. However, after moderate daily use, it only lasted around 6 months before it broke. All of a sudden it was like a ghost was pressing the backspace key, anything typed would get deleted. First I thought it was the computer acting up, but through process of elimination of the connected peripherals, this device was the one causing the system issues. Would not buy again at this price-point, as I would rather not have to purchase two of these every year.

The mini usb connection is annoying. I'd prefer to use my existing connections to power source to charge this thing. There's a noticeable lag when attempting to connect to the laptop machine. Numbers are decals, not printed onto each button. The aluminum is close to the black MacBook Pro that I use. Under the right lighting conditions, you will see the edges of the decal and then ask why you paid a premium for this product. the rubber feet do not sufficiently grip the surface the unit is on. As a result, you'll find the device moving all over your desk area. The underside plastic is glossy and susceptible to fingerprints and scratches. Finally, the sound and resistance experienced when pressing each button is of low quality. Overall, it feels cheaper than the marketing would have you believe.
