For 10 Key users this is a must

Purchased my first laptop. I'm from old school, have to have a 10-key pad to enter numbers quickly. This you plug in to a ubs and its ready to use. Purchased it Sept 2, so far love it.

Sibelius Mac Users Rejoice! Closest to Full Mac Compatibility that you can find

I needed a usb numeric keypad for my MacBook Pro since the newer models lack the built-in keypad via a Function key. The Logitech Cordless Number Pad for Notebooks claims compatibility but never actually followed through with it, and the Toshiba PA1390U-1NKP Slim USB Numeric Keypad with 2-Port USB Hub does work for basic data entry but fails to differentiate between "Return" and "Enter", a negligible glitch for data entry purposes, but a real killer for applications like Sibelius which have two different actions associated with "Return" and "Enter" respectively.

However, this keypad by Genovation actually works on Mac. Just like other keypad peripherals, when you plug it in it will not be recognized by OS X, but you can manually select United States ANSI and the keypad will work. If you keep getting beeps when you press buttons, toggle NumLock a couple of times. I had to switch around a couple shortcuts in Sibelius so it would match the Windows-style layout of the keypad, but that was easy and now it works perfectly. Highly recommended for Sibelius and Mac users.

Excellent Product

I have been using Genovation keypads for at least 15 years. They are stronger and more durable than any other external keypad that I have used.
A great product for the price.
