Trust Xalas — USB Numeric Keypad, 23 Keys
23 keysLow profile5-year term127 g
Trust describes the Xalas as a stylish and slim numeric keypad for easy numeric data entry on any Windows laptop, and the two things that matter are in that sentence and in the key count. It has 23 full-size low-profile keys — full-size spacing so your fingers settle without looking, low-profile travel so it matches a laptop keyboard rather than fighting it. Beyond the digits there are dedicated keys for Browser Home, Mail, Calculator, Tab, Backspace and Spacebar, which turns it from a numpad into a small entry console. It is explicitly suitable for both right and left-handed users, has a Num-lock indicator, connects over USB and is plug and play. It measures 90 x 148 x 21 mm, weighs 127 g, and Trust backs it with a 5-year warranty.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Trust publishes the system requirements narrowly: Windows 10 or 11 and a USB-A port. As a plain USB keypad it is not doing anything Windows-specific, but we quote what Trust quotes rather than promising macOS or Linux support it does not claim — tell us your machine and we will test one before shipping. On a USB-C-only laptop you will need an adapter; ask and we will include one. One transparency note on the cable: Trust’s marketing text says 1.5 m while its own specification table says 145 cm. The difference is trivial in use, but we publish both rather than pick one silently. The keypad is low profile, which is a matter of taste: if you like deep travel and a firm click, this will feel shallow. Trust publishes no key-switch type and no keystroke lifespan, and there is no backlight. In the box: the keypad with the cable attached, and nothing else.
Best For
✓ Windows 10 and 11 laptops with no number pad
✓ Left-handed users, who are explicitly catered for
✓ Anyone who wants shortcut keys as well as digits
✓ Typists who prefer shallow, laptop-like travel
✓ Buyers who want a long published warranty
✓ Hot desks and travel kits, at 127 g
Key Features
Five years from Trust
A published 5-year manufacturer warranty on a keypad at this price is unusual, and it is the strongest reason to choose this one.
Full-size keys, low profile
Desktop spacing with laptop travel, so it sits naturally beside a notebook instead of feeling like a different machine.
Left-handed too
Trust states it suits both right and left-handed users — worth knowing, because a keypad that only works on one side is half a purchase.
Six shortcut keys
Browser Home, Mail, Calculator, Tab, Backspace and Spacebar, so your hand stays on the keypad through a long entry session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on a Mac?
Trust publishes Windows 10 and 11 only. As a plain USB keypad it is not doing anything Windows-specific, but we will not promise support Trust does not list. Tell us your machine and we will test a unit before shipping.
How long is the cable, really?
Trust says 1.5 m in its product text and 145 cm in its specification table. We publish both rather than choosing one. Either way it reaches from a laptop on the same desk comfortably.
Is it good for left-handed use?
Yes — Trust states it suits both right and left-handed users. There is nothing about the shape or the cable exit that forces it to one side of the machine.
Singular Expert Insight
Five years of manufacturer cover on a keypad this affordable is the headline, and the shortcut keys make it more useful than the digit count suggests. Just note that Trust lists Windows only. See our
