Table of Contents

Introduction

The Portable Wireless Numeric Keyboard Black (C10796-V) promises convenience and portability for users who frequently work with numbers. After spending several weeks using this compact keyboard for various tasks, from data entry to spreadsheet work, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

Features

The C10796-V is a straightforward numeric keypad with a focus on simplicity. The black color is understated and professional, fitting seamlessly into various work environments. The wireless connection is a significant advantage, eliminating cable clutter and offering freedom of movement. The compact size is perfect for travel or for those with limited desk space.

Performance

The keyboard’s responsiveness was consistently reliable during testing. Key presses registered accurately, and there was minimal noticeable lag during wireless operation. I used the keyboard extensively for data entry tasks, and I found the key layout intuitive and easy to adapt to. The battery life is commendable; I only needed to recharge it after about a week of consistent use, surpassing the expectation based on similar models. However, the keys feel a bit plasticky and lack the satisfying tactile feedback found in higher-end keyboards. This is a trade-off for the low price point, which is evident in the build quality.

During intensive spreadsheet work, the compact size proved both advantageous and slightly limiting. While its portability was great, the lack of dedicated arrow keys meant I had to use my mouse more frequently than I would prefer.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Compact and portable
  • Reliable wireless connection
  • Good battery life
  • Affordable price
  • Simple and easy to use

Cons:

  • Plasticky key feel
  • Lack of dedicated arrow keys
  • Build quality reflects the low cost

Final Verdict

The Portable Wireless Numeric Keyboard Black (C10796-V) is a solid budget-friendly option for users who need a portable numeric keypad. Its reliable performance and long battery life are impressive for its price. However, the less-than-premium build quality and lack of arrow keys may be dealbreakers for those seeking a more premium experience. If you prioritize portability and budget above all else, and your needs are purely numeric input, this keyboard is a great choice. However, if you require a more robust and feature-rich keyboard, you might want to consider spending a bit more for higher quality.
