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

Initially purchased because I replaced my keyboard with one without a keypad and now absolutely love this one. Battery life has been incredible, only needed to charge it once since purchasing. It's got a great tactile feel to the keys and the fact it can be used as a standalone calculator by toggling the power and pressing a single key is great. The standalone calculator isn't going to blow you away for complex functions (your phone will do a better job than that for sure), but for the retro feel you really cannot go wrong. The fact is is USB-C for charging too is a real bonus.

Love it way to good

Great item. Kids love its. Four star only because it would have been cheaper on uk site!

I do love this keypad. The ability to push it out of the way when not in use and put it either left of right of the keyboard when needed is worth the expense alone. The calculator button, which turns the LCD into a conventional calculator, does away with the need for a separate calculator and can even replace Windows calculator. The reason for the lost 2 stars, as the title suggests, is the inability to customise the keypad. The keyboard is customisable with 8bitdo software but not the keypad. This is an issue for me because my muscle memory along with the placement of the backspace button means I hit backspace when I am trying to hit subtract. Easily fixed if I could only remap these two keys and swap them over physically (the latter is easy to do).

I really wanted to love this keyboard. It offers a solid typing experience with satisfying clicky switches and no complaints about the typing feel itself. The connectivity options are also excellent, with both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth available, making it versatile for different setups. The design is sleek and visually appealing, but unfortunately, it comes with a significant drawback—it's heavy. For a wireless keyboard, it's surprisingly cumbersome to move around on a desk. If you suffer from conditions like arthritis, this weight may cause discomfort or make daily use impractical. Additionally, I purchased both the keyboard and its accompanying numpad. Coming from a full-size keyboard layout, I found the placement of the escape key and the small size of the plus and minus buttons on the numpad a bit frustrating, especially during heavy typing sessions. I really tried to like this keyboard, but ultimately it fell short of my expectations, and I had to return it.
