Wireless numeric keypad

I'm in the same boat, I am really sick of the "keypad" on my mbp. There is one report of Logitech's wireless keypad not working with Mac on amazon, but it is only one account and I don't know how reliable it is. I would really like to know for sure if it would work.

This would be really cool to have with my setup as well. I have the wireless keyboard, and love it, but do miss the numerical key pad. I will have to do some searching and find out.

also bought the keypad...

it's really well designed... posting here in the hopes that someday someone posts a link to software i can install to make it work on my mac!!!

Any updates on mac compatibility? As an accountant, this would help tremendously for my needs.

I have heard this works http://www.amazon.com/review/produc...cm_cr_acr_txt?_encoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Your sig says you have an iPhone; have you considered the numberkey application which allows you to use that as a wireless numeric keypad.

That's really clever. Unfortunately, another family member "borrowed" the phone. Maybe I'll have to pick up another one just for this purpose! But, in reality, I don't think that will work because people who are used to 10-keys will tell you that they need strong tactile feedback in order to operate it without actually seeing the device.

In my never ending quest to find a working wireless keypad, I bought this nifty (and cheap) Microsoft keyboard with a keypad, both supposed to work with bluetooth.

The keyboard worked just fine, and so did the keypad - until I upgraded my system software to Snow Leopard. Bye bye keypad from that point forward.

I've fallen back to a USB cable version. But, it's got a short cable and is really a nuisance as it occupies one of the two USB ports.

I would love to get a keypad version of the Apple wireless keyboard. We have one of those for the iPad, but no keypad, alas.

And I as well...

It looks too good to be true. Let's just hope that it offers true compatibility. And, that it becomes a real product real soon. I plan to buy two of the things.

All of the others that I have bought (three to date) have very serious pairing problems. (For example, the computer keeps asking for me to hit a particular key on a standard keyboard.) The one that was touted as being made to work with Macintosh system stuff was so clunky that it was anything but portable. And, it only worked intermittently - nothing like ploughing along in your tax return, only to have it crap out halfway through.

Occasionally with the others that I have tried, I get by all of that in the Bluetooth setup procedure, and get a "this is not a regular keyboard" option, and then get limited connectivity with that. But this is not a reliable method.

Incidentally, the Microsoft keyboard portion of the keyboard/keypad package pairs up just fine. Kinda makes you wonder just where Apple's head is on this one.
