Insignia™ - 22-Key Bluetooth Scissor Switch Number Keypad for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS and Android - Black

Nifty add on to my laptop which doesn’t have this type of setup/layout for running excel/google sheets work. Love the fact that its burrito connectivity makes it a quick and easy setup. Super portable so I can take it with me anywhere in my laptop bag.

The Insignia 22-Key Bluetooth Keypad was exactly what I needed. I was looking for a numeric keypad since my work laptop doesn't have a numbered keypad. When I need to work remote with just my laptop, I always struggle to use the built in laptop keyboard since I enter a lot of data daily. Setup was pretty simple. I just made sure my Bluetooth was switched on my laptop, then I held the tab button for 5 seconds. Pairing mode came up right away and found my device. Insignia BT5.0 Numeric KB came up pretty quickly while I performed the scan for devices. Connection was pretty seamless. While connected to my laptop I didn't notice any lag or stuttering. It took me a short while to get used of having a numeric keypad. After 20 minutes, it felt like I had a full-sized keyboard. I was able to perform my tasks much quicker while at work. I then tried pairing the numeric keypad to me android phone. No issues there. I was able to successfully connect and enter info using the numeric keypad. All in all I really like the Insignia numeric keypad. I know now that I should never leave home without it when I'm working remote.

The Insignia Bluetooth 22-Key Keypad is perfect for anyone who has longed for a full size 101 key keyboard with a laptop. This is especially true for travel, where a dock and separate keyboard is not really an option. For anyone who has missed the numeric keypad on a 101 key keyboard, this is the answer. The Insignia 22-Key Keypad is trivial to set up. Simply pop it out of the box, pull the tab on the included AAA battery and pair to your laptop. Because it's wireless, you can position it next to your laptop or wherever you want. The keys are chicklet style keys typical of laptops, silent, and with nice throw and tactile feedback. Insignia has included 5 'extra' keys in addition to the usual 17 numeric keys found on the 101 key keyboard, esc, calc, tab/pair, equals, and backspace. All of these are useful if you are working with spreadsheets, or any numeric entry. Holding the 'tab' key down for several seconds puts the keyboard in pair mode. Construction is quite good, nice, solid plastic and a very thin profile. The keyboard fits nicely into a calculator pocket in a laptop bag. Makes it easy to tote around. You can see the profile of the keyboard next to my laptop in the photo. All-in-all, the Insignia Bluetooth 22-Key keypad is a reasonable alternative to a full size keyboard for a 12", 14", 15" or even some 16" laptops that don't provide a complete 101 key keyset. And at the price, it's really a no-brainer purchase. Highly recommended!
