Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless Number Pad for Notebooks
Customer Review: Sweeeeet!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine was using the Logitech Number Pad with his notebook and I really wanted one. I especially like that no software installation is necessary for the pad to work with a notebook. The product from Amazon thoughtfully came with 2 AAA batteries so I could get it working right away.
I think the number pad is great. It has the right features: seamless wireless connectivity, one button access to the web, microsoft excel and e-mail, and easy to use keys. I could have gotten any of the number pads sold at brick & mortar retailers like Office Depot and Staples that don't work as well and cost more, but I decided to hold out for the Logitech and order on-line from Amazon. (Amazingly enough, this product is not sold in stores in the Washington D.C. area and can only be acquired on-line or by mail order.) I don't usually like to order things on-line or through catalogs, but in this case, I am really glad I did.
I also have to send Cheers!!! to the team at Amazon. This process worked flawlessly. I put in my order on the morning of June 24 and selected the Super Saver option - which means I did not have to pay for ground shipping. Amazon said the shipping could take 5 to 9 business days (which is why I debated going this route). To my extremely pleasant surprise, my number pad arrived the Next Day! Ya gotta love it. Not only did I get a great product at a cost savings, but I didn't even pay for shipping and I got it super-fast. Thanks so much Amazon!
Customer Review: Top of the line and worth the money.

When you first get this number pad after using others you realize that this is different, better, it is quality.
You know the type, you can't get into it unless you break a nail, your scissors and a friend's jacknife. The packaging the Logitech number pad comes in is a perferated platic peg hanger. You simply bend the pastic and it opens like a clamshell.
Lifting this business tool for the first time it has the feel of solid well built made to last construction.
After installing the 2 AAA batteries that come in the package you are good to go. All of the XP systems that we hooked up with all found the device to be plug and play. Just puch the connect buttons and you are ready to fly. Quick launch buttons on the top of the pad make going between applications a breeze. The larger than usual number makes accuracy in the mobile business environment much easier. This pad is better that the pad that comes standard on a desktop keyboard.
A note about Amazon. The first Logitech number pad was defective, it would not sync or or stay connected if it did sync. Reading the amount of positive reviews We decided to try again. Amazon sent a replacement Logitech number pad before they received the defective one back. If it had been the only number pad we had there would have been only two days of down time. Amazon is great! I suggest always having two just in case. Now the 2 should be Logitech Cordless Number Pad.
Customer Review: Good, not great.

I do a lot of work with numbers, so I like to have a 10-key pad. In this day and age, I prefer not to have cords. I really like this item, but, it has its quirks. There are questionable choices for selection of added keys. I would have preferred software selectable function keys. Synchronization isn't always as simple as it should. I don't usually synch my mice, but this keypad usually requires manually synch between the pad and USB dongle. Also, when you get them synched, there is no acknowledgement of the event. To be fair, though, once synched, I have never experienced a loss of signal between the two until, I shut them down. I don't mind that the dongle is quite large, but, it should turn off the keypad when it's inserted to the storage slot. Still, this item is solid. It's not cheaply built. It is sure footed and doesn't move around with use. The problem is that Logitech designed this item. I love their mice designs for continually adding features that people actually use. Their name derives from the two words, logic and technology. Unlike their mice or even their keyboards, this item lacks simplicity through logic that you come to expect from them.Customer Review: Not Just For Noteboooks!

I bought this to replace a wired 10-key touch pad for my DESKTOP computer whose entertainment-focused keyboard lacks a 10-key, and I'm flat out impressed by the quality of the Logitech Cordless Number Pad "for Notebooks".
It's elegant and, so far, nearly flawless. There's no response time to wake it up as with some wireless products. The USB receiver fits nicely into the unit and the carrying case, Excel/Calculator/Internet Explorer buttons and energy-saving power button are all nice features. Also, since it's wireless, there's less clutter on my desk now!
The only thing I can't comment on yet is the battery life since I've only had the product for a week. If the unit lives up to its "6-month battery life" claim, I'll go so far as to say this is one of my most recommended purchases.
The only improvement I'd wish for is Bluetooth capability to free-up the USB port the wireless receiver requires.
FOLLOW UP: I ended up getting a little over 2 months of battery life off of 24/7 use of this device. That's a little short of the 6 month claim, but I think it's fairly impressive, nonetheless!

if your an accountant and work on a laptop rather than a computer, well, you might have some difficulties because some of the laptops dont hav enumerical keypads on the right side of the keyboard. in my case its even worse, becuase im a 'lefty' -left hand writer- which makes it even difficult for me to use even if it exists.
having a wireless portable keypad in my hands made it easier. i use it while im sitting back, with two hands, with one hand, sometimes i get frustrated of a certain number or formula so i have to stand up, move around which makes me think better, even by doing so, the pad doesnt leave my hand. i just calculate, calcute & calculate more, i dont have to get on my chair and write down my ideas everytime i get one, then stand up again.
"however, when i bought this product, it had noticed a little scratch on the bottom right of the product"
*NOTE: This is a packaging issue not a prodct issue.
all in all, this is a reiable product because it will simplify not only your work but also your movement.
