This review is from: IBM 09N5546 Numeric Access Keypad (Personal Computers)

I BOUGHT TWO OTHER KEYPADS THAT WOULD NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS XP. THIS IBM KEYPAD COMES WITH THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS SO THAT EVEN WINDOWS XP WILL RECOGNIZE IT. IT WORKS GREAT, AND I EVEN BOUGHT THE IBM MOUSE AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE A NEW LAPTOP WITH WINDOWS XP, AND YOU HAVE A USB PORT, YOU CANT BEAT THIS IBM KEYPAD, AND THE PRICE IS CHEAPER THAN THOSE OFF BRAND KEYPADS. IF YOU WANT THE BEST, BUY THIS IBM NUMERIC KEYPAD. YOU WILL LOVE IT! IT'S THE BEST.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT doesn't deserve 2 stars, December 13, 2001

This item is great for a laptop. It doesn't deserve a 2 stars just because you don't know the fact that USB won't work for Win95 and NT. IBM has other models that are serial/PS2. But this item works great with a USB port.

I think this is a great idea, I hate using the keyboard on my laptop for the numeric keypad, because the keys are not lined up vertically like they are on the keyboard keypads. This is great, it has a USB interface to it is easy to swap in and out when needed, it's not really small, but fits nicely into my laptop case.
The only annoying feature about this is that the num-lock key triggers the num-lock for the entire laptop, not just the keypad, which is unnessesary. Its easy enough to just hit the num-lock on it before and after you use it, however it would be preferable if you didn't need to.

I would recomend this to anyone who is looking for a keypad accessory. For people who do not have a spare USB port, IBM makes the same exact model as this, except with a PS/2 port, or you can just buy a converter.
