Hey guys, I recently picked up an apple wireless keyboard and I love its size, BUT at times I work in excel and a number pad would come in handy.

These two look pretty nice, but does anyone have any experience with getting them to work with macs?

Microsoft bluetooth number pad - http://bit.ly/3tPxy9

Logitech wireless number pad - http://bit.ly/1D39S6
 
i've asked this question twice before and no one ever replies.

i've been watching the microsoft one since it was announced. didn't realize it was finally released! just ordered it. (thanks)

i have the logitech keypad and i love it.... downside is it doesn't work with my MBP, only my work dell.

so out of those two choices, it's obvious.

So I just looked on Microsoft's site and it looks like it should work with Macs... I think I might pick it up. Anyone have experience with it?
 
I'd love to know how this goes for you... and specifically if there is any conflict when used simultaneously with Apple's Bluetooth keyboard.
 
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Apple hasn't produced a wireless numeric keyboard? I think there is such a strong demand for it and it's unfortunate that we have to resort to buying a separate device. When my quad iMac shows up, I'm tossing the wireless keyboard and using my old Apple wired one. Why can't Apple figure this one out!?
