Reviews for Mobee Magic Numpad for Apple Magic Trackpad

I just received this and was initially quite disappointed as it seemed too insensitive, I couldn't reliably click on the number pad and get the desired response and felt that I really had to hammer the track pad to get it to work properly. I just went in to track pad preferences and set it to 'tap to click' and it now works beautifully.

The numpad works exactly as described.

I think that perhaps people who are having trouble with it, either didn't expect it to feel like the trackpad (it does NOT feel like the keyboard), or they didn't make the change in the trackpad control panel that the software said to make. Or perhaps they are touching the trackpad instead of clicking it.

In any case, it works exactly as described.

Nitpicks:
1. The sticker is hard to read under some lighting conditions. it would be nice if the symbols were black on white, instead of transparent on white.
2. Many people might not like the tactile feedback- you must click (not tap) the trackpad with your finger on the key. But the feel is the trackpad feel. It might be nice if this were implemented as a membrane or chiclet keyboard on top of the trackpad.

I find it easier to leave the app in numpad mode all the time. This will still allow you to enter numbers in programs and the calculator and you can still use the trackpad like a mouse without switching to trackpad mode. Try it out because switching between the two modes using the trackpad doesn't always work.
