8BITDO Retro 18 Mechanical NUMPAD - N Edition

8BitDo has produced a phenomenal keypad! Super fast connection, Bluetooth connects super easy and the numbers project flawless. The keypad is aesthetically pleasing to look at it, it captures the retro vibe perfectly. It also has a calculator mode. Now I wasn't sold on the idea at first but wow has it come in handy!! Super easy to toggle on and off. Has a bright red button for it. And for the most important question? How does it sound?? Sounds are like 1980s arcade machine. You can not go wrong with this keypad, 1000 percent recommend it.

I don't own the keyboard that goes with it. Did I need this? No. Will I even get much use out of it? Probably not. Was this an impulse purchase? Absolutely. And yet I kinda love it? The keys are tactile, the text is bright and legible, every switch and button feels high quality. The bluetooth, attached dongle, and USB-C port mean it works with basically anything. As a stand alone calculator it's going to be accurate and comfortable if you ever need to do a lot of math for any kind of paperwork, and as a numpad for your PC it's excellent. The only thing that feels like kind of a flaw is the button to open the calculator app on your PC where a numlock button would have made way more sense in my opinion. But there is a hotkey method to activate numlock (hold CAL and press C) and you can rebind the calculator input in your OS to something more useful so even that isn't a hard flaw. All in all, if a chunky retro style calculator sounds like something that would tickle your interests or you just need a solid numpad for your PC or to go with the 8bitdo keyboard I think this thing is excellent. I don't regret buying it.

No complaints. It's well-built, the switches feel good, it matches the keyboard, and the 2.4ghz connection is really fast and reliable. It's nice that it also works as a calculator.

Awesome numpad, yes its pricey but worth it. Got the matching keyboard for Christmas so this was the matching numpad. Great retro design, yes the keys are loud, which makes it super cool. You're able to use it as a numpad, has a shortcut button to activate the laptop computer and the best feature was the capability of using it as an actual calculator with a light up display.

I recently picked up the 8BitDo Number Pad for typing, and it’s quickly become a handy addition to my desk setup. If you're someone who needs a dedicated number pad for data entry or any other work that requires frequent use of numbers, this number pad is a great option. Performance: The number pad provides a smooth and responsive typing experience. The keys are tactile and satisfying to press, which helps increase my typing speed and accuracy. There's no lag or delay when typing, and the connection is seamless. I’ve used it for hours of number-heavy tasks like spreadsheets and financial tracking, and it’s been a real time-saver. Design & Comfort: The design is sleek and minimalist, with a compact build that doesn’t take up too much space on my desk. The keys are well-spaced, and the layout is intuitive. Even though I’ve been using it for several days now, it’s comfortable to type on for extended periods, and I haven’t experienced any discomfort. Compatibility: I was impressed with how easily the 8BitDo Number Pad synced with my computer. It works flawlessly with Windows, making it versatile for different systems and tasks. Whether I’m working with spreadsheets, entering data, or performing quick calculations, it has been a reliable tool. Battery Life: Battery life has been great so far. I haven’t had to recharge it constantly, and it lasts long enough for several days of use without issues. The battery seems efficient, and I haven’t noticed any significant drain during extended typing sessions. Price Caveat: The only downside to the 8BitDo Number Pad is the price. It’s a bit higher than other number pads on the market, which might make it less appealing for those on a budget. While the quality and performance are excellent, the price could be a barrier for some. Still, if you need a durable and efficient number pad for regular typing or data entry, it’s a worthwhile investment. Final Thoughts: Overall, the 8BitDo Number Pad is a great addition to any workspace. It’s reliable, comfortable, and efficient for typing tasks, especially those that require frequent number input. While it’s a bit on the pricey side, the performance and build quality make it a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their productivity.

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!

I use this keypad frequently for data input and it works amazing. Very fast. No issues whatsoever. I'd buy it again or anything from this company without thinking about it. The quality feels as good as my high end keyboards($200+). The switches have a nice feel. Battery life seems great, I haven't charged it in the two weeks I've owned it with heavy use. I was not familiar with this brand but now I am and looking at other products.

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.

Me encanta,como calculadora vintage esta guapísima y ese tacto… me flipa

Curioso, muy curioso y atractivo, tener un teclado numérico mecánico, al más puro estilo retro al que nos tienen acostumbrados desde 8bitdo. Tal cuál sucede con el teclado mecánico del mismo estilo, sorprende desde que lo desembalas. El tacto es perfecto, los acabados premium y de una sutileza increíble. Funciona tanto por BT como con 2.4GHz gracias a su adaptador USB. Y lo más curioso, es que funciona tanto conectado al PC, como independientemente, como calculadora retro... Simplemente increíble! Indispensable si te pillas el teclado del mismo estilo pero en formato corto. Me encanta! Altamente recomendable, sin duda alguna.

Splendido tastierino numerico, in grado di rievocare ricordi di gioventù. Ottimo per chi, come me, preferisce avere un pad numerico pur avendo comprato una tastiera TKL. I tasti sono piacevoli al tatto e, a mio avviso, robusti il giusto. Ne esistono più di una variante, io ho preso quella Commodore.

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.

打鍵感も打ちやすくてものすごく気に入っていますが、やっぱりファミリーコンピューターみたいなこのレトロ感がGoodでした！
