This Belkin product is well-built and super sleek, matches my silver MacBook Pro nicely, and connects fast with long battery life. Why only 4 stars? While it probably deserves 5, I deducted a star for my own personal usage, that being much less than expected. Real world usage, i find my right hand is on this numeric keypad, but left hand Relegated in MBP keyboard, primarily the space bar, backspace, and trackpad. I didn’t dig in and see if the buttons can be re-mapped (delete key pulls instead of backspace for example). Maybe it is? A strong feature for me would have been to create a small mini-trackpad in the lower left quadrant. Regardless, for numerical input it’s a fantastic product.

One flaw: Batteries Required. Unavoidable in a cordless mouse, trackball, or keyboard, sigh. So, what's to like? Elegant design (looks cool near your Mac), suitable fo lefties or righties, plays nicely with more than one computer, adds function keys 13-16 (in case you can find a use for them), smooth key operation, gentle and effective tactile feedback, clean interoperation with the calculator app, probably (no test by me) works great with accounting apps, DOES work great with spreadsheet apps. I use rechargeable batteries (keeping a spare, charged set on hand because batteries ALWAYS die at inconvenient times). Yet, battery life seems long enough so that trashing your long life alkaline batteries may not be such an awful eco-sin.
