Reviews for Mobee Magic Numpad for Apple Magic Trackpad

This is a product with lots of imagination, but no substance. I would not recommend it to anyone. Compared to an actual keyboard number pad as on the wired-keyboard, it is a complete flop. Input requires that you hit the keys with some force to get them to work and even that does not work much of the time.

Wished it would work--loved the idea, and really miss the number pad on the wireless keyboard, but nope, it would not work at all with my new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. So sad.

Worked OK with Snow Leopard & Lion - as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion cursor would randomly drift north & click on every thing in it's path. Only way to stop would be to turn it off. Had to pull out my old mighty mouse. Clicking & dragging on the trackpad would trigger the drift. Took my trackpad to the Apple store & it worked perfectly & could not replicate the problem. No uninstall for the product & I saw on a blog you had to delete using command line so I had my roommate & his girlfriend ( both with PhD's one in computers) try & delete the software from command line. I rebooted but still no luck. I just now notice the deleted files in the trash can so I'm going to reboot after securely deleting them.

I dont understand why Apple would promote an item in thier stores that they do not test first. This was a total waste of money.... you press a key and maybe it responds several seconds later if it responds at all. I already had a track pad on my Macbook Pro... now we have a very expensive second one!

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.

not good
bug ,deconnect et home touch no fonctional
no recommanded
.......................

I really liked the idea of being abe to use the trackpad as a number pad as well. Unfortunately the only way to turn it on is to use a pull down menu command. I understand the software used to allow you to use a corner of the trackpad or a function key to toggle the numpad on and off, but this functionality has been removed. The lack of an easy toggle for the numpad makes it nearly unusable. I would not recommend anyone get this product.

Useless !
To activate the numpad, you have to click on a button on the screen (desactivate is easier because it directly available on the numpad).
And when the numpad is activated, you can't use your mouse anymore (or with limited space).
So, either you use your pad, either your numpad ...

Very disapointed

This seemed like a really good idea however there are still bugs to work out. Maybe after a few years they will have figured it out. I could not get the numpad mode to turn on or sometimes it would turn on when I didn't want to.
AND now I cannot delete the program so once in awhile it will go into numpad mode.
Not happy at all.
