I bought this product a while ago and now I can't live without it!
It has a few downsides though:
- It is for American keyboards only (I'm from Denmark) which makes it a little harder to work with.
- It will only record keystrokes, so there is no possibility to using scripts or the mouse for that sake.
Even though it doesn't do many magic things, one can really get some work done faster with this keypad and a little creativity ;)

When coupled with good macro software, like AutoHotKey (free), I have been able to create macros for certain tasks that take several mouse gestures and key presses. It really is great when things that used to take 10-15 seconds of futzing around can be accomplished with a single key stroke. I've only had this for a week, but can already feel more productive. Another thing... if you think about a typical action that takes, say, ten mouseclicks or keystrokes... that's ten opportunities for you to get distracted and wander off and do something else. If you can automate that all down to one key, then you won't lose your train of thought.

This is an awesome product. I am a work-at-home mom that has a data entry home job. I find I type the same things over and over again. I started a spreadsheet that I could just copy and paste these items from and then I stumbled across this keypad. AWESOME! I am almost three times more productive with this without any added effort. I did not bother with the labels. I cut up postit pads and wrote on those then stuck them under the plastic. Might not be pretty, but it is functional and works for me-I can change them easy too just by putting a new postit note on it. I like that the keypad retains the functions (meaning you can have the program that sets the keys on one computer, set the keys, then disconnect it and use it on any computer in the house). A downside is that not all the keys seem to be the same height. Some are slightly higher/lower than others. This can be annoying to some, but I think it actually helps me to remember which key I am on. I tried to see if I had the keys in wrong, but nope. It does appear that this problem is mainly when I am using a double key so maybe the company wants them to be offset. The second downside is that it is PS2 and has an additional PS2 plug and then converts to USB. I think I would have rather just had a USB plug. On a side note, I can't seem to get my extra PS2 plug to work. I have plugged other keyboards and mouses into it and it does not seem to work so that might be the reason I don't find that I need the extra attachment that just gets in the way. P.S. I use a mouse with my right hand and this with my left hand most of the time. Due to this keypad I am finding I don't use the keyboard very much at all (when I am doing my job). I am not sure why others would use it though, but I like what I use it for.
