 Doesn't work wellOct 14, 2002
This unit has trouble communicating with my HP laptop (zt1180). The keypad isn't even listed on micro innovation's website, and no drivers are listed for the product.

 No problems here, Works like a charmFeb 25, 2009
By C. Omar
I didn't purchase this product on Amazon. I made a quick trip to Microcenter out of necessity. I telecommute for a major software company and had a large project dumped in my lap. I use a Toshiba laptop and run Vista.
This particular product was the only one they had that specifically stated Vista compatible on it so I purchased it. It was priced a little bit more than Amazon.
I had no problems whatsoever installing it. I plugged it into one of USB ports and it installed right away. It was ready to go within a minute.
I have found with several of the USB accessories that I use that sometimes one of my USB ports doesn't recognize it. Usually it takes a couple of tries in the port and then it does.
So for those who gave up on the first try. Please try again. It's not the product. It's your USB port.
I highly recommend this product. And to those who complained after only plugging it in once...shame on you. You need to learn more about how your laptop works before you complain.

Not Mac friendlyJan 31, 2009
By D. Houze
"Dekoven"
Bought this for my MacBook Pro, as it states it is mac compatible on the box. Once I plugged it in, it never seemed to work consistently. There are no drivers or firmware updates to remedy the issues and it sometimes prevents my logitech mouse from working correctly. I would strongly suggest you pass this one up if you're a Mac user.

 Initial Mac Set-Up ProblemsOct 17, 2008
By R. Whitlock
(Please read this full review, as my initial problems went away.)
I bought this to use on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo laptop, and when I plugged it in, the New Keyboard dialogue came up asking for me to press the button immediately to the left of the right shift key. Well, as this keypad doesn't have any shift keys, I canceled out of the set-up.
I was then able to use the keypad, but every time I hit a number key, there was a split-second pause, then the number would appear on my screen, but it was accompanied by the loud "bing" noise which occurs when an illegal command entry is performed on a Mac.
I have since been looking for a way to use this keypad properly on my Mac, but to no avail.
-------------------------------------------------
Upon writing the above, I decided to try the keypad one last time on my MacBook Pro, and it is now working without any hesitation or illegal command noises.
Why didn't it work like this right out of the package?
Where I was originally going to give the keypad a 2 star rating, I will now give it a 4 star rating, as it is now working as intended.

Misleading and disappointingJul 16, 2007
By Jeremy E. Sachs
"Rezmason"
This was the cheapest keypad I could find, and I certainly got my money's worth. It's advertised as a Mac-compatible device, a statement that is supported by the list of Mac requirements on the packaging. Yet the device doesn't work consistently with my Mac, and their technical support agents say it's not a Mac-compatible device.
Seeing how it's the year 2007, any USB device that isn't platform-independent isn't really acceptable. If you're a Mac user, stick to the old faithfuls: I ended up going with a Kensington number pad, and it's worked great.
