Really cool numpad
Plus:- Looks really awesome- Pretty decent switches- Hotswappable- Awesome keycaps - they actually have that grainy retro texture which feels really nice- Shortcut to open the calculator is nice to have if you use it often- Standalone calculator feature is also really practical and fun to use- Great build quality for being plastic- The 3 buttons at the top and the knob feel amazingMinus(being really nitpicky here):- Expensive for lacking a metal base considering it's just a numpad- Slight wobble on the switches- Standalone calculator only supports numbers up to 999999999- Manual says to install the software, but the software doesn't seem to have any features besides updating the firmware. I would love to be able to configure the keys and what the display shows. Would be really cool to display CPU and GPU temps for example.I definitely recommend it for the right person. As part of my job, I have to do basic math here and there - using this makes that fun. There's just something really cool about the retro look, the feel of the buttons, the display etc. So the value is mostly emotional, it's just really really cool.

Great mechanically numpad
Really like the feel of the switches that have a satisfying click to them.The separate calculate function is excellent for simple calculations and use it daily.The aesthetics are wonderful, really love the retro throwback.The included games are super woth the limited functionality.

Great bit of kit. Very clicky.
The media could not be loaded. I mostly use mine as a desktop calculator.But having the ability to connect it to my computer as a numpad if I require is useful when working on spreadsheets.Love the clicky switches great fun to play with. And as shown in the video, the usb dongle is secured safely in the back.

Excellent Gizmo!
Very nice very retro. Very solid and quality finish. Note there are at least 4 colour variants of this, I bought the N one (Nintendo?) and it is very good but slight snag the 7 dark grey keys have the legends in dark red so the contrast is not the best, it's OK but I find I have to stare at these keys a moment longer whereas the contrast on the other 11 light grey keys is much better. But it is overall such a nice gizmo when I buy a 2nd unit as I surely will (one at home one at work) I will choose one of the other colour schemes.

Perfect
I started off with the keyboard for this (while i waited for the numpad to be available) and was joking with my partner "hey look I could get a numpad that looks the same" and to be honest I bought it as a laugh but I dont regret ordering it and I really like it.This held a really nice surprise for me it also works as a calculator yes it has a calculator built into it I never knew that when ordering and to be honest when i have needed a calculator its always be those horrible squishy button ones which i have never like and have even looked into making a mechanical switch calculator but i'm glad I got this now.Yes its safe to say that i use it more as a calculater than a num pad for my computer

It's very nice and exactly what I wanted
The media could not be loaded. Does exactly what it says, it's a number pad for a PC, but you can switch a dial for it to be a calculator.Very nice and I like how the keys sound and feel to press, I also love the design of it.

Price is entirely due to appearance.
You can get a bog standard wireless numpad for less than a tenner and it will do exactly what you need. This is for someone who is looking for something aesthetically interesting.This numpad range comes in various colours schemes, and this model in particular comes in the original Nintendo aesthetic and colour scheme. The switches are unapologetically clicky and tactile. The switch activates immediately after the "bump" which itself is at the very start of the switch operation (I hope that makes sense). I will probably change the switches as I prefer silent linear, but that's just personal preference.The toggle for wired/wireless/BT, while lacking a clunk of some kind and pretty light to the touch, is still satisfying to operate. The top centre button opens the calculator on your desktop and brilliantly, the red "calc" button unlocks the screen on this numpad to be used as a basic calculator. Amazing.To add, there is a handy (and also not cheap) travel case.Bottom line, you're not here to save money. Plenty of numpads do less and some come with more features, like arrow keys and home clusters. You're here because you like the way it looks. Treat yourself.

Great retro calculator
Nice retro calculator inspired by the NES system, I grew up with the NES and Mega Drive, side note I hope 8BitDo do a Mega Drive inspired version of keyboard, so was a no brainer to also use for work too, the sounds are a nice touch, the calculator is bit bulky but that's how they were in the past so no complaints
