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!

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.

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.

If you're getting it for bragging rights or showing off the mancave, it's cool. If for functionality, it works as expected except the keys don't allow it for quick data entry without retraining your fingers/brain. Also, there is a magnetic side where it sticks to the c64 keyboard but feels clunky. In retrospect I should have bought the mouse instead for function. But what can I say, it acts as both a functional numpad and stand-alone calculator.

8-bit do retro keyboard review:I own the 8BitDo NES theme retro keyboard with B/A super buttons, as well as the similarlt-themed Retro Numpad. I've had them for a couple months now. I also own the Super Stick, which I just got today. Base score: 5 STARS. Here's my breakdown:Responsiveness: I love clicky keyboards. I understand not everyone does, but keeping that in mind, this is one of the most fluid keyboards I've ever used, and one of the nicest-sounding (*click click click!*)Ease of use: The USB Dongles are plug and play, but the keyboard and numpad both come with usb wires to charge/ use wired. The buttons to turn on and off the 2.4GHz wireless is seamless with no noticeable drop in regular use. Note that I didn't play a game with trigger controls and swap the connection style though, so I can't comment on that.Aesthetic: This thing is beautiful. It looks like a classic NES peripheral with its theme and it looks like it's straight out of the 80s. I love it. It's a little pricey (my setup all told was around $175 for the keyboard, numpad, and joystick), but that's roughly on par with other gaming keyboards, so its not so bad.The Good: Great sound, great aesthetic, great response time and connection type switching (a known benefit of 8BitDo). It's also solidly built and looks premium. The numpad doubles as an adding machine; niche, but neat. The keyboard also has two dedicated programmable buttons aside from the super buttons, which is good for those of you who like macros set up.The Bad: Sometimes the clackyness of the super buttons can cause simultaneous inputs to not fire just right, but this is manageable. It also has no backlight, which is a shame. For the price of the keyboard and numpad, I wish they would have made the button labels translucent and installed a stock backlight. makes gaming or computing in the dark impossible. The super stick is nice feeling, but if you're a heavy masher of buttons, the actual joystick (which is meant to disconnect for ease of shipping) falls off a lot.The mildly annoying: The numpad is set up as an adding machine, so if you're used to the computer numpad, you have to re-train yourself. This is offset by the fact that the numpad can be used as a stand-alone adding machine, so IO understand why this was done. Also, my whole setup, aside from the super stick uses the NES theme, but I couldn't get the super stick in that same color theme. 8BitDo, fix this; your stick is only $15, if I need t0 pay an extra couple $ for a license to use the NES color scheme, I would have done it. Lastly, it's a little pricey, so unless you're an 8BitDo diehard, have a retro itch you need to scratch, or are looking for a new gaming keyboard, this is a luxury buy you don't need to get to replace a working gaming keyboard. I don't regret my purchase by any means, but I didn't *need* it.The Awesome:8mm jacks for button input? Genius. This makes those inputs usable for ANY switch-based button. To prove a point, I used an old X-Arcade coin-op setup (which is a coin receptacle connected to a switch), connected an off-the-shelf 8mm plug, and plugged it into one of the 4 connectors that comes with the retro keyboard and boom, instant coin op! Also, the components will connect to each other via magnets! I just found this out. It never occurred to me why my keyboard and numpad always stood together despite me dragging the setup all over my desk. It works with the super buttons too! Also, the batteries in these things are downright epic. I use my computer 3-4 days a week and the numpad (the keyboard was plugged in most of the time out of habit) went from 100% to 95% after 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS! This is another staple of 8BitDo- insane battery life.Overall: Worth the price of admission, if not for the aesthetic alone, for the versatility, wireless capabilities, and battery life. Are you looking for a signature look for your keyboard setup? do you want to have arcade buttons on your desktop, do you want the best wireless options and battery life you've ever experienced in a peripheral? Get this.

It has a great look that complements the keyboard equivalent I purchased months ago. It can also be used as a normal calculator on its own. The keys are a bit loud, but for some, that is a huge plus.
