"Just what I needed"
I am a teacher and bought this to speed up the process of entering grades on my laptop. My MacBook recognized it immediately. I carry it in my bag, so the zip feature of the USB is especially helpful. I do wish it was a bit longer, since the USB ports on the Mac are on the left, and I'm right handed. I have to pass the cable behind my laptop which then gives me less slack to position the keypad in my lap or on a chair arm, etc. But that's not enough to deter me from giving it a 5 rating. It sure has saved me a lot of grading time.

"Almost perfect, but excellent for what's it's meant!"
Light, compact, and the best part is the retractrable slim USB cord. Goes everywhere, in my drawer, the glove compartment, my business bag...

On a mac, it is a breeze... just plug it in and go in your System Preferences, select keyboard/mouse, find your little keypad, and voilà, you are typing numbers!

My only downside is that the zéro key should be in a recess for the thumb, but still I don't intend to do "data entry" all day long, it is really a very minor thing and not worth complaining about it.

All and all, a very good purchase, I recommend it, and it is probably the cheapest and most versatile on the market right now!

"Slim, sturdy, multiplatform goodness"
I bought the adesso keypad with intent to use it with Mac OSX and windows XP. The device works flawlessly, I couldn't be happier. Plus it is a well built, sturdy design, and doesn't take up too much space/weight. The retractable cord is a great space saver for storing, but like all retractable usb cables, I can't help but worry a bit about it's durability. All in all though, the adesso keypad is an excellent buy.

"Works with Mac OSX 10.4.7"
I plugged this in and the iBook tried to "identify" the keyboard; it couldn't, but I just chose the United States option and all was well. Not as stylish as the one offered in white, but for me it is purely functional and works great for the price.

"Not bad at all."
I purchased this keypad for the purpose of gaming and performing live electronic music, not data entry.
It just arrived today, I opened the box, plugged it in and popped up metapad to try it out. So far, I'm quite pleased. However, the pressure required to press the keys is about four times what is needed on a normal laptop keyboard, and about twice what is needed on my klunky, classic desktop keyboard.

That said, I still love it. I wouldn't want to spend 2 hours punching numbers into a spreadsheet with it, but I'm confident it will perform quite well for my intended purposes. But, I am hoping that it breaks in a bit with use. Also, the flat, ribbon style, retracting cable works like a charm, and it's exactly the size and weight I'd hoped (I'll post a customer picture soon).

This thing is going to be great plugged into my laptop at shows, and I'm looking forward to playing my favorite space sim with a joystick in each hand and this thing just in reach without a full keyboard in the way. =D
