Very easy to set up, works as intended! I do a lot of manual inputting numbers on spreadsheets and this makes it 20x faster.
I bought a mini bluetooth keyboard for my iPad before I needed this. So its a great price if you don’t want to buy a whole new keyboard or just need a number pad.

All my previous computers had a built in numeric Key pad. When I saw that my new OmniBook X Flip didn't have one I mentioned it to my sales associate and he showed me this Insignia 22 Key Bluetooth Scissor Switch Number Keypad and it is perfect for my needs. To me it is just like it is built into the OmniBook!

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.

What a Huge Plus For On The Go Number Punching!

What a huge plus for on the go number punching! I hate the standard kbd layout on my laptop when I working in excel or really any where I am inputting numbers! BUT I like the compact size of not having a full size number pad keyboard on my lap top or even on my main desktop really.
That's were this little gem comes in. It was super easy to set up...just hit the "tab" button for a few seconds and it pairs flawlessly and quickly to all my computers. I also like that you can hit the "calculator" icon key and it brings up the calculator quickly. What a great on the go tool or enhancement to a desktop that does not have the 10 key! I love this little guy!!!
And super easy to stuff in a pocket in my laptop bag or desk drawer! It's also light weight so no worries there either. The number keys have a little sponginess to them but that is the trade off for the lighter weight which I will take every time over a heavy brick in my laptop bag!! It has a little AAA battery in in. I would have like a rechargeable unit but the battery is nice in the field if I forgot to charge it.

It’s thin, lightweight, and Bluetooth. Easy to set up. Easy to use. The buttons are low profile, which I personally like. It shuts off after a couple minutes of activity which helps save the battery. There is a slight lag when it initially wakes up, but that’s the only time. Works well.

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.

Purchased the open box option because i didnt want to pay full price and received one that was like new. Quickly connects via bluetooth to my new Macbook Air without using a dongle which is very convenient when storing for travel. Also, there is no USB port on my laptop, which made this one my go to. Great for someone who needs a numeric 10 keypad that is not bulky, minimal and easy connect. Although, its not rechargable, AAA batteries are not expensive and I’m pretty sure you won’t burn through one so quickly.

The Insignia 22-Key Bluetooth Scissor Switch Number Keypad is a surprisingly handy little accessory, especially if you travel for work or use a laptop that doesn’t include a built-in number pad. It’s small, lightweight, and easy to slip into a work bag, which makes it perfect for trips, hotel-desk setups, or coffee-shop work sessions. The Bluetooth connection pairs quickly and stays stable, so you’re not fussing with wires or dongles when you just need to get some numbers entered fast.
What really makes it pleasant to use is the scissor-switch keys. They feel similar to a good laptop keyboard—quiet, responsive, and comfortable for long stretches of data entry. The spacing is natural and doesn’t feel cramped despite the compact size. If you’re used to having a full 10-key and suddenly don’t have one on your laptop, this little keypad fills that gap really nicely.
The battery life holds up well, and it doesn’t drain quickly even with daily use. It also works across multiple operating systems—Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android—so it’s flexible enough to pair with whatever device you have with you. That’s a huge plus if you switch between a laptop and a tablet while you’re on the go.
Overall, this keypad is a great companion for anyone who relies on number entry but doesn’t want a bulky extra keyboard. It’s portable, reliable, affordable, and genuinely improves productivity while traveling or working remotely. It’s the kind of simple, practical accessory that makes everyday work just a little bit easier.

Does the job

A very functional, if not entirely comfortable, option for those looking for a supplemental keypad. It's easy to set up, has decent battery life, and is easily tucked out of the way or stashed in a bag when not in use. Downside is that it's... not the greatest to type on. Keys are somewhat mushy, the layout is cramped, and the flat design really isn't comfortable to just sit your hand on it. For occasional light use, it's more than good enough. But anyone relying on it for more intense data entry might find want to look at something a little more ergonomic to avoid wrist pain.

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!
