Customer Reviews

I love this thing!
I own this keypad, and I must say, it is great. It plugs right into your USB Port via a 3 foot USB cable (which winds up inside the keypad). This keypad has two modes: calculator, regular keypad.

When it's in calculator mode, it functions just like one. So, if you want to send calculated data to your document, you hit the send button. Additionally in this mode, it has the memory function of the most basic calculators (M+, M-, MRC). It can also do percent, square roots, and pos./neg.

When it's in its regular keypad mode, it's exactly like the numeric keypad on your regular computer (with Num Lock, etc.). It also has a Tab key and a Backspace key, which function just as they would on a normal keyboard.

One of the best plusses about this is that the keys are "built" like your laptop keys. I'm sure you've noticed how laptop and regular keyboard keys are different. These keys are like the ones on your laptop.

I HIGHLY recommend this for my fellow laptop users!

Yes! I made it work with my Mac and here is how
----------
(The item I am reviewing is Targus PAUK10U USB Keypad)
----------
This doesn't work with a mac unless...

Do exactly as I say and it will work fine:

1. When your Targus keypad is disconnected press and hold the Num Lock button.

2. Connect your Targus Keypad USB cable to your mac USB port (not a hub) while still pressing and holding the Num Lock key.

3. When the Num Lock green LED light goes on, wait for exactly at least three seconds (count 1, 2, 3) then release the Num Lock Key.

4. Now it shouldn't Beep and it will work fine in programs like Excel.

I am typing a bunch of numbers on it as a proof below:
123456789 0 000 . / * - +
It works smoothly.
-----------
I gave it three stars only for being such a hassle to use on macs when any stupid USB keyboard would just work.

I have a MacBook (latest intel black model) running mac OS X 10.5.6

I hope that was helpful.

NOT for Accountants and other Finance types!
If you're a wiz at 10-key, this is NOT the keypad for you. I'm an accountant and the last thing I want to worry about is wondering if the number key I pressed actually registered. My Targus USB Mobile Mini requires me to put the keypad very, very carefully or I'll have missing numbers. I have never experienced this problem on a keyboard numeric keypad -- they all seem to have the tactile response of a calculator. I would not recommend this item, it is sitting in my desk drawer right now. I pulled out my old keyboard and hooked it up to my laptop to get access to the numeric keypad.
