Targus+Ultra+Mini+USB+Keypad%2c+Black+(PAUK10U)

I've had one of these before, it was about 10 years old, but after about 10 years in my computer bag it got beaten up. I bought this one, because they do not sell these anymore at Walmart. The Amazon ad says that the USB ports are USB 2.0, but according to my computer they are USB 1.1. A USB mouse or full-size USB keyboard will work just fine with these ports, but data transferring to a flash drive or external hard drive will take longer. Ergonomics gets three stars because the triple zero button is kind of silly, it should be a double zero. My primary use for this keyboard is typing in frequencies so I can program my ham radio from the other computer. All in all, it works just fine, no problem. The one I received was black.

The product deserves a solid 5 star because it does what it is supposed to.If any designers of the product are reading this comment. Please consider releasing one with inclination feet and that will improve the ergonomics of its design.

I recently purchased this keypad to use with my MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4 I wanted to let Mac users know that the keypad works fine. The trick I learned is that the first time you connect the keypad to the computer a window will open called the Keyboard Assistant. Simply close the red circle in the upper left hand corner when that window opens and your Keypad will become a plug and play device. I have seen other Mac users struggle with Keypads like these because they use the Assistant. It seems harmless enough to follow the prompts for the device but I have found that you do not need to do so. This device is also helpful because as you are using a USB port on your machine-it offers 2 others.

I returned this otherwise well made keypad because my application did not work with a USB to DIN adapter. Nothing wrong with the keyboard..

I bought this Keypad for my HP Pavilion DV6675US 15.4" Entertainment Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7250, 4 GB RAM, 250 Hard Drive, Vista Ultimate) since I use a lot of engineering software and excel but I was deeply disappointed when I first plugged in the device supposed to be VISTA READY.At first I had a really hard time to make this work, since it says drivers are installing and after about 5min it says drivers are not found. I tried to search for drivers for this device but there are NONE. I wrote to Targus Support and they weren't that much of a help, they asked me to try again, and again, and again, by uninstalling the device from the device manager in Win, but that didn't make any difference.After a lot of time, and a lot of rehearsal I found that after windows fails to locate drivers you have to choose a location manually and enter the Folder Windows/System32, search subfolders, and it DOES install drivers and works. It has to be done 4 to 5 times, since it installs drivers for the Keypad, and the USB Hub included in the keypad (2 USB 1.1 ports).I know that probably this isn't Targus fault, but they should test it more throughly before labeling a product VISTA READY. By the way, it works flawlessly in XP, a real Plug and Play.About the characteristics offered by the keypad, it's alright, nothing more or less than you would expect from a $10 USB keypad. You just have to be cautious when entering 0 if you are used to a regular keyboard keypad.For XP I'd give it 5 stars, but for Vista it's barely a 3 star product.

The simplicity of this product is its virtue. It does exactly what you expect - no more - no less. My laptop doesn't have a number pad and I didn't like the "laggy-ness" of Bluetooth number pads so I gave this a shot. It also has a single USB port of its own, so - if you already use a wired mouse - you can use this without having to sacrifice any additional ports. It doesn't weigh anything, but the buttons feel "solid."Best of all, it includes a button we've all wanted to push from time to time (see picture). ;-)(nb. It's a backspace key.)

I bought this for my wife(math teacher). She uses it for entering grades and such. This is the second one that we have owned. The dog chewed the first. It works with both laptops. Just plug and play, on both windows XP and Windows 7. We have not tried it on our windows eight laptop yet, but I would be surprised if there was any issue.Good enough for daily use. Not to heavy, and doesn't seem to mind being dropped off her lap and onto the floor occasionally. Cheap enough that you don't cry when it's time to replace it.

I'm pretty happy with this. I bought it because my new ergonomic keyboard at work doesn't have a 10-key, which was driving me crazy. The keys aren't too different from my normal keyboard, though they do require a little bit more care in pressing. I was missing numbers the first day or two. This is the fourth day and it's fine for me now that I am used to it.The USB hubs are not fantabulous. I tried plugging in my iPhone charger and got an error message that the device wasn't powerful enough to charge my phone. So if this is using up valuable USB real estate for you, you might end up wanting a separate hub that is actually designed as just a hub. And if the two USB slots on this keypad are making you choose it over another option, you can probably discount that as a major feature.Nonetheless, I researched about 20 different options, and am still convinced this is the best keypad for my needs.
