Satechi Slim Aluminum Bluetooth Keypad, 18-Key Number Pad, Space Gray

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.

Great product, it looks and feels as a perfect match for the Mac keyboard II. It also comes with a rechargeable battery. I been using with excel and it works fantastically. This is the keypad that was supposed to come with the Mac keyboard and was missed. The keypad also has a built in rechargeable battery and a charging cable is included. Per the instructions, it can be used while charging too.

This is a beautiful number pad. The copy I received was solid and sat flat on my desk unlike some of the other reviews. The Good: - Keys feel excellent - similar to a macbook pro, but slightly less precise and noisier. The keys work better if you're a heavy hitter. (see bad section below) - layout is intuitive and keys locations are easy to remember - spacing is excellent - size is perfect for both desktop applications and small enough to travel - pairing is easy and painless - Beautiful. It looks great parked next to a macbook pro. ( I got the one with the black keys to match) - works while it's charging The Bad. - I find it goes to sleep to early. I only use the number pad sparsely throughout the day and whenever I want to use it, it's asleep. It takes a few seconds for it to wake up so it feels sluggish at first. If you use your number pad all day for data entry, this will not be a problem for you. - You have to hit the keys right in the middle for them to register. if you hit a key in the corner, you'll feel it click, but no number will be entered. I would recommend hitting the keys slightly harder to make sure they always register. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, it's not bad. Additional note: for a nice clean charging solution, I bought a pack of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KUZR0WA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_14 The short cables allow you to charge your keypad from your MBP without a messy bundle of cable on your desk. Overall, it's a good keypad for the price. If you have a $2000 macbook pro, this is a beautiful addition. You will need to change the way you type to make it work though. A small price for vanity :)

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.

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.

Very nice device. makes it possible to do finance/office work - I hate using top-row number keys. And yes, per other reviews, this thing is not quite perfectly flat on the bottom -- I peeled off one little rubber footpad, and now its perfect. It does take a second to wake from standby, so sometimes the first couple keypresses are missed. I hope Satechi is preparing to match up with Apple's rumored wireless keyboards with touchbars.

Not even close to the Satechi Slim X1 keyboards... The keys feel like a toy, not backlit (did not claim to be)... I'd highly recommend getting a Slim X2 or X3 vs. adding this to an X1. It is more portable if added to an X1, but you will not have a similar typing experience on the scissor key mech of this offering. The chassis does feel solid, and it does physically match/pair well with the Satechi X1 (+ 1 Star).

It worked perfectly, but 2 months later, when I charged it for the first time (the battery lasts a long time) some keys stopped working (2, 5, 8, 0, etc) since I am outside the United States, the guarantee would imply that I send it , and it would be cheaper to buy another one than to send it under guarantee, a total disappointment, another item that I had of this brand was also damaged the same month, in conclusion I will not buy anything of this brand again.

Böyle bir ürün tasarlayıp, böyle bir fiyata satıp, üstüne Type-C koymamak kadar saçma bişey olamaz. Resimde Type-C gibi görünüyor ama gelen ürün öyle değil...

الكيبورد معدني وفخم وخامة ممتازة والاقتران والبلوتوث سريع انصح بشراءه خاصة الي لابتوباتهم مافيها لوحة ارقام

For a wireless number pad, this is fantastic. I have only had to charge it (via USB) once or twice in the year I've been using it which I think is pretty impressive. Connects easily via bluetooth and buttons are responsive. It does have to be "woken up" by a button tap before use if its been sitting idle for a while (power saving feature I'm sure and makes sense). Sleek and compact, but surpisingly heavy - at least as heavy as an Apple Magic Mouse. Overall very impressed and would definitely buy again.

Exactly what Inwas hoping for. This is a well made item at an affordable price. Highly recommended.

The product is nice design and relatively good quality, but not really up to apple standard. This is shown in the stability of the product, which rattles in use and is a little prone to double entry. When used next to an Apple MacBook Pro keyboard the difference is easy to tell. For the price paid it’s fine but I would pay double for a version that was up to Apples quality.
