It's very nice to know my video is useful to you. Thanks for letting me know.

This keypad is completely out of stock everywhere. Is there a refresh or something coming?

Thanks for the video. It would be cool if the bluetooth switch button were on the keys side, movie on the top. This way you would switch faster between devices

I have this numeric keyboard but I have to tell, that as professional Datacernter we have one very big problem with this Microsoft keyboard, because on the beginning, when you type the fist number, the keyboard don't type the first numbers, like it is in a "wake up" mode. So we have all the time to check, if the keyboard Insert the first number. The next we will try the Lenovo numeric keyboard. For private user it's a useful gadget but not for professional user.

my only issue is when not using certain time, numeric pad goes to sleep,and when I press the key it not wake immediately, must wait few seconds to start typing.everything else is superb.

Oh is it? For mine it's always connected to my Asus Windows 11 laptop. There are times I bring my laptop to office and left the number pad at home. When I come home and log in to my laptop, the number pad is already connected. Could it be a setting on your Windows? Are you using windows or mac?

It's the second time I read this. This would be very inconvenient for programming. Can someone else confirm that if you don't use the numpad for a while and then type on it, the keypress isn't transmitted instantly but after one second or so? It might be doing this to save the battery?

Hi, Just got the number pad after seeing you review. It's great but the major draw back is that it doesn't have a tab button which I will need for my extensive use of excel. I've tried to program the key through the Microsoft mouse and keyboard software but it doesn't have a tab option. Do you have any suggestions/ tips? thank you

Nice review! Can you use this keyboard to type Unicode characters? Some external keyboards just remap the numbers row and don't support unicodes at all

I'm interested in this product too. Does it allow users to customize keys on this Microsoft Number Pad so to add back the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys? Thanks.

Not sure, are you asking about how to enter ASCII character by holding down the Alt key followed by the ASCII number of the symbol? If we have a keyboard and this number pad both paired to a computer, then we will have the alt key to perform this key command. Haven't tried before, so not sure.

Ya if we don't switch it off it won't do anything, which means it won't waste battery too. I usually can't be bothered to switch it off. And when my computer keeps repeating typing lots of 0000000000, then I know I forgot to switch it off and something in my bag has accidentally pressed and held down the zero button on the number pad. 😄

Idl if you bought it or not but yes the keys are linked to Num keys so all ascii functions and shorcuts will work normally
