8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad, Supports Calculator Mode, Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired Numpad for Windows and Android - N Edition

Product arrive earlier than planned in a well taken care of package.it is super functional and helpful (I do a lot of accounting at work) - that it doubles as a calculator is a total plus for me - and it also comes with built-in games! The screen is amazingly readable.it is very satisfying to use, and also very aesthetically pleasing for those who like vintage looks.On the plus side, if you don't like clicky switches, this numpad is hot-swappable, another bonus by the manufacturer.It definitely feels sturdy and seems to be - taking it at work everyday and not an issue in sight.Hits all the positives for me! I recommend!

I love this thing. It is an awesome companion to the matching keyboard. It's nice to have a separate number pad for those that prefer a TKL keyboard. The styling is amazing. The battery lasts FOREVER. They switches and key caps are top quality and sound great. The calculator function is surprisingly useful. And the fact it can magnetically attach to the matching keyboard make this a must buy if you have the keyboard.

I love this little number pad. The retro look is super cool and the functionality is great. The keys feel amazing. They have a very satisfying click and the fact that you can switch it into just a calculator mode and then right back to a number pad for the PC is nice and works seamlessly. Highly recommended!

You can get the 8bitdo keyboard as a full-length board these days, so it really isn't required to buy this anymore. The reason I did anyways was for three reasons:1. This has a small, subtle magnet that helps it sit beside the main keyboard, and the two pieces sit pretty cleanly beside each other so there's not a noticeable difference.2. Because of this, you can have the comfort of a full keyboard with the added convenience of being able to relocate the numpad elsewhere if you'd like, which makes it more versatile for different purposes. It supports bluetooth and also comes with a USB dongle (with a built-in slot for it), so it's very convenient.3. I just think the little calculator screen is so cool.Buy the full keyboard version if you want to have a more normal keyboard experience. Buy this if you want to be able to type 80085 on your numpad and have it show up in little glowing LEDs. You know what to do.

Great number pad. Well worth the price paid. I didn't think I would use the calculator function, but I use it often. Solid construction and wonderful feel to the keys. Multiple connection options makes connectivity a breeze.

The media could not be loaded. 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical NumpadPros:Bluetooth – no adapter required (but it does also have the adapter)Looks and ease of use: I love how it looks, and the simple layout and options are wonderful. The ability to quickly switch to the built-in calculator is great.Typing Quality – it is decent to type on. The keycaps feel good, and the switches are decent if you like the clicky, but it is hollow, and you can hear that in the keystrokes.Customizable – I can change the keycaps but that’s it.Cons:Size – it is huge and not easily portable.Loud – I am not a fan of the loud clicky switches. It is too loud just typing in my own home, let alone working in a public space.Not enough customization – can’t change the switches or program any keys.Ultimately, I didn’t keep this number keypad because of the clicky switches. I really wish I could change out the switches because I think I would have kept this one based on the looks and simplicity to use. It isn’t portable and I would not travel with it, but I really wanted to like this one for at home use.Context:I recently started a remote job that I need a number keypad, and my work laptop doesn’t have one. I couldn’t decide which one to get so I grabbed several different options to try. Things in order of importance to me: Bluetooth (not a 2.4 Ghz adapter because I want to keep the USB ports open), portable (I might have to travel with it), sound (not too loud in case I am working in a public space), typing quality (preferably mechanical keys), and customizable (hot swappable keycaps and switches and maybe programmable). I didn’t extensively use each: I assume all of them work so I tested most of them without connecting them.

I have a Macbook Pro that I use for work, and there are times I have to put in a lot of numbers. Using the keys across the top of the keyboard is annoying, so this is a lifesaver. The mechanical keys feel great, and the addition (heh) of the calculator function is a nice bonus. The only real knock I have against it is that the Bluetooth connection seems to take too long to wake, and when I start typing it can sometimes miss the first couple of keystrokes. Since I almost always use it wired it doesn't effect me much, but important for others to keep in mind.Also, the NES shell? Beautiful.

Works great, battery life is amazing so far. I love that the key switches are hot swappable, and calculator mode is very cool! The 3 connection modes are handy too, USB-C for charging and low latency, Bluetooth for ease of use and using the receiver for wireless gaming.
