Wired USB 18 Keys Numeric Slim Mini Number Pad C3187zxc Review for Mac
For those who spend a significant amount of time entering numerical data on their Macs, a dedicated numeric keypad can be a game-changer. I recently had the opportunity to test the Wired USB 18 Keys Numeric Slim Mini Number Pad, model number C3187zxc, and I’m ready to share my experience.
The C3187zxc immediately impressed with its compact size and sleek black design. It’s remarkably thin, easily fitting into a laptop bag or even a large pocket. The tilt design is a thoughtful addition, helping to prevent accidental spills. The non-slip foot pads keep it firmly in place during use, preventing unwanted movement. Setup is truly plug-and-play; simply connect the USB cable to your Mac, and it’s ready to go. No drivers are needed – a huge plus for ease of use.

Over the course of a week, I used the C3187zxc for various tasks, including data entry, spreadsheet work, and even some light gaming (where numerical inputs are crucial).

While some users might find the smaller keys less comfortable for extended use, I never experienced any significant discomfort even during prolonged sessions. The wired connection ensured a reliable and lag-free performance, eliminating the potential issues of wireless interference or battery life.
