Microsoft 230-00013 Number Pad - Black, Pad Black

This numpad has been rock solid since I purchased it in 2021. Im an Accountant and made the switch to 65% keyboards. Whilst I find myself using numpads less after the switch, once in a while I end up doing work which involves a lot more manual input and having this on standby is great. The connection to devices is fast, its very lightweight so easy to throw in a bag, it doesn’t move on the table when im using it, the keys feel nice to press and the I like the clean aesthetic design. What more do you want! Buy it

I have a Surface Pro and regularly work with numbers and spreadsheets, so using a compact keyboard with no dedicated number pad slows me down. This product is well made from good quality plastic. It is very thin and light so will be easy to slip into a briefcase our tablet sleeve. Key travel is excellent and feels like any quality keyboard. Setting it up was incredibly easy as it uses Swift Pair, so my laptop started the pairing process automatically. If you use a 13-14 inch laptop and regularly work with numbers, it is a great choice. Please note that the battery is not AAA as stated in the product description, but a CR2032.

Very easy to connect to laptop and the keys are soundless which is a plus.

Like many people, my wife is working from home most of the time and due to her job is a big user of the numbers on her keyboard. When she's in the office her keyboard has a number pad on the right, but at home her laptop doesn't have this, and it's been a cause of some frustration. This number pad is a nice piece of kit. It was a little smaller than we expected, but to be honest it's about the size of the number pad on the right of a desktop keyboard, and a little bigger than a calculator. There's no display, the keys don't light up, but they have a nice action and it is quiet to use. Pairing is simple with no dongles required, as it uses Bluetooth - just flick a switch on the underside of the keypad, it enters a pairing mode, and your device will probably spot it straight away - if not, have a tinker with your Bluetooth settings. The keypad takes a single button battery, and there's also a button at the top left of the keypad that opens the Windows calculator. Small and light enough to slip into a laptop bag if needed, this is a nice buy for anyone who is looking for a number pad keyboard.

Easily connected to surface Peo and Lenevo laptop.

Good quality as you'd expect from Microsoft. Easy to pair to device and easy to use, it has a nice quality smooth feel to it.

I chose the black version to match my laptop, but now think this was a mistake. The keypad is not back-lit. The numbers are thin and grey, barely showing up. I have poor eyesight so need a light shining on the keypad, which I don't want. Perhaps the white version may have been a bit better, but the lettering still looks thin. I'm not sure if I should return it. Meanwhile, I've stuck labels over the keys with written numbers on. Doesn't look great! That aside keypad, works OK. Copious paperwork with it, but not a word of English! I suspect I've got a version meant for Asia/Eastern Europe. All rather disappointing.

Nice, sleek and connects upto 3 devices with a button to switch at the back. Only issue is when not used for some time in goes into sleep mode and then when numbers are typed although it types them there is a slight lag in those cases.
