Acceptable but...... June 26, 2010
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using this keypad for a couple of years and definitely agree with the range issues mentioned by other reviewers. Within 2 feet seemed to be the working range and anything outside that was iffy. I really like the 00 key that many others don't have. It died when I tried to blow dust from around the keys with compressed air. That shouldn't have happened.
I'm looking for a replacement but it will not be this model.
 Skips numbers / USB receiver takes up too much room January 12, 2010

I noticed patchy performance. I have a USB wireless logitech keyboard, that works perfectly. On the same desktop, this number keypad is almost non-functional. Will be returning it. The USB receiver is relatively thick/bulky - hence the adjacent USB port on the computer tower is lost due to the size of the Targus USB receiver.
This was my first Targus purchase and its not impressive to say the least.
 The range sucks, and that's being very generous. November 12, 2009

The range on this piece of junk is almost precisely the same range as the length of the cable on their wired keypad. Under ideal conditions (with the extension cable to move it as far from my computer as possible, the average range was approximately 3 feet, 3 inches form the receiver according to my tape measure. Occasionally, it would go as far as five or six feet, but this was sporadic, and would frequently drop out. To regain a connection, you had to move within about two feet of the receiver.
Save your money. You're much better off with a wired keypad if this is your only option. At least those can be easily and reliably extended to about 16 feet with a cable. With this thing, you can't even do that usefully.
I sure wish these manufacturers would stop trying to roll their own crappy wireless hardware. For all your R&D expenses, they will end up with something that has barely a tenth the typical range of Bluetooth. Just build Bluetooth hardware already and stop wasting time designing junk like this. And stop wasting customers' time going to the store, buying junk like this, and returning it as defective as I'm about to do with this one.

This is a great product. I insert a lot of numbers for my job and my lap top line of number just was not working. I am a fast typist but the numbers at the top are not my specialty. I needed something to help me and I found this product. It works perfect. The only thing that I would like improved is the size of the usb connection. It is big and bulky, and once you plug it in you can not fit anything into the usb next to it. I would recommend this product to anyone that needs this type of device. But you may also want to look into a device that allows you to insert multiple usb products too.
Buy the product you will definitely like it.
Not fantastic - better than OK October 16, 2008
Targus Wireless Stow-N-Go Keypad AKP01US
This is a better than OK product, not great or fantastic. For some reason the left/right; up/down arrows do not work, even when I depress teh NUM LOCK key. When I depress numbers I then have to depress the 'Enter' key; cannot use the down arrow key - like I would in an Excel spreadsheet. I have to admit I am not used to using a keypad such as this.
