If you are only using the number pad functionality and charge the keypad when not it use, you won’t run into this issue. This is either not an issue at all, or an easily remedied problem. But back to my previous point, connecting it to the right side ports pushes it further away from my laptop to a point that it starts to feel awkward. Does that mean that this could be a great solution for left handed users? As “I’m am not left-handed” (Princess Bride sword fighting scene playing in my head now), I can’t speak to if that would actually be a benefit since you’re likely used to standard key layouts. I connect it to the right side of my laptop since I’m right handed. That included cable is short (only x inches) with straight connectors. It does mean that you need to keep that cable handy or always hanging out of the back of the keypad. It’s a welcome benefit that doesn’t add volume to the keypad in any negative way. The USB hub is a great feature as you likely have some hard drives, peripherals or that USB-A to lighting cable that came with your iPhone that you connect to your computer with some frequency. When placed directly next to the right side of my 15″ laptop it’s lays out just like the keys on my Magic Keyboard. Just place it next to your computer and switch it on. It’s lightweight, small and fits in a back pocket or between your hand and the laptop you’re lugging around anyway. The Voamoko Numeric Pad straight up solves this problem. Definitely works, but it’s just not the same as having a number pad when you’re really trying to enter numbers quickly and accurately. When I’m in meeting rooms and elsewhere I’m limited to the numbers along the top of my Macbook Pro. The funny part is that I’m actually not at my desk for the majority of the day. It’s a great setup as I work in spreadsheets and gantt programs regularly. I use a standing desk and a large monitor at work with Apple’s Magic Trackpad 2 and full-size Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. On you computer open your Bluetooth preference panel, look for “Bluetooth Keypad” and click connect. On the back you’ll now see a flashing blue light next to the red light. Slide the switch so that green is showing (instead of red) and then press the small round button to place it in pairing mode. Note that you will not be able to use the keypad until you setup Bluetooth.


You’ll see a solid red light at the back of the keypad confirming it’s charging.
