Summary: Obviously not MAC compatible!!!
Review: Great disappointment. Plugged in this equipment and tried typing in all the applications I own (Excel, Word, FreeHand among others) and displayed typed numbers (when it did) with extra spaces and squared characters. Should specify in the product description that is NOT MAC compatible. I'm not aware if PC users faced this problem as well.

Summary: It Works
Review: I certainly wish it were smaller, but I guess that'd be hard to manage while retaining the feel of a normal keypad. The unit works well and adds some features that would probably be handy for spreadsheet work, like enter and backspace keys.

Summary: I love this thing!
Review: I own this keypad, and I must say, it is great. It plugs right into your USB Port via a 3 foot USB cable (which winds up inside the keypad). This keypad has two modes: calculator, regular keypad. When it's in calculator mode, it functions just like one. So, if you want to send calculated data to your document, you hit the send button. Additionally in this mode, it has the memory function of the most basic calculators (M+, M-, MRC). It can also do percent, square roots, and pos./neg. When it's in its regular keypad mode, it's exactly like the numeric keypad on your regular computer (with Num Lock, etc.). It also has a Tab key and a Backspace key, which function just as they would on a normal keyboard. One of the best plusses about this is that the keys are "built" like your laptop keys. I'm sure you've noticed how laptop and regular keyboard keys are different. These keys are like the ones on your laptop. I HIGHLY recommend this for my fellow laptop users!

Summary: NOT for Accountants and other Finance types!
Review: I use a laptop. As anyone knows who tries to crunch numbers, laptop keyboards don't have a nice number pad. This keypad can be used as a stand alone calculator. A "send" button can then take your final number and insert it into whatever application you're in. I use it with Excel mostly, to do calculations in spreadsheets. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I still have to go over to the laptop keyboard to start an Excel formula with an equal sign. The keypad has a nice key touch if you like a positive "click" sound as you press the buttons. It has a backspace button and a floating decimal option. It's definitely not a mini keypad, though. If you're looking for a tiny keypad, look elsewhere. It's not a clunker, but I think the description is a little misleading. I looked at a lot of keypads and this fills the bill nicely for me...

Summary: NOT for Accountants and other Finance types!
Review: If you're a wiz at 10-key, this is NOT the keypad for you. I'm an accountant and the last thing I want to worry about is wondering if the number key I pressed actually registered. My Targus USB Mobile Mini requires me to put the keypad very, very carefully or I'll have missing numbers. I have never experienced this problem on a keyboard numeric keypad -- they all seem to have the tactile response of a calculator. I would not recommend this item, it is sitting in my desk drawer right now. I pulled out my old keyboard and hooked it up to my laptop to get access to the numeric keypad.
