Mobee The Magic Numpad for the Apple Trackpad

Works as described and I like the fact that you can customise the layout and switch between trackpad and numpad modes. The two things that let it down for me is that, although you can switch from numpad to trackpad via the trackpad, switching back to numpad requires you to use the system bar icon. Not a huge problem but a bit of a pain. The second thing is not a design flaw, I simply underestimated how much I relied on the physical feedback of a numpad's keys. Using flat 'touchpad' keys is a much slower process and you have to keep looking at the trackpad to make sure you're hitting the right keys, unlike a physical numpad where you can just work off the feel of the keyboard. It's an obvious flaw in retrospect, but its been a bigger pain than I thought it would be. At the end of the day you are paying for a few transparencies and a small app. Up to you whether it represents good value or not. I'm not convinced personally.

Received this morning. Easy to fit and work out. Its a bit like the Mac, at first it feels clunky to use. But I will grow into it I am sure. After many years of Windows I am an early Mac user. Seems to work well,, although its odd not having a button to push.Delivery was exactly as detailed and the quality of the posh box etc was Apple standard and half the cost I guess :o).All in all does exactly what it says and I look forward to it doing what it promises. Certainly does not seem to be a waste of money. One thing, the plastic overlay is a bit sticky compared to the lovely smooth feel of the bare track pad. Perhaps that will go in time.

The Mobee The Magic Numpad for the Apple Trackpad worked for about 2 years and was happy enough until it just stopped working. Apparently, Kikatek who sold it to me said they warranty was for 1 year (SHOP HERE _ AVOID: https://www.amazon.co.uk/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&orderID=205-6616789-4349963&seller=A1AUCPBF2P18HS&tab=&)vasStoreID= Avoid spending your money on the product and its seller above.

Does not install because the website referred to for the app download no longer exists. Furthermore when checking reviews this problem was reported over 4 years ago which begs the question “Why are Amazon allowing the item to be sold through their service?” One of the few times I’ve bought a product without checking customer reviews , more fool an out of pocket me!!!

This has really helped my workflow, it is great that you have the customisation of what buttons you can have with the three options and customisable keys. A great addition to my iMac.
