Keypad nmbr, a very special numeric keyboard for MacBook laptops

If you are one of those who are doing numbers all day from the computer. And to this you add that you usually work on a MacBook laptop in any of its versions, it is very possible that you miss a numeric keyboard that makes typing easier. And it is that having to go through the second row of keys - the first if it is the MacBook Pro with Touchbar - can become quite a tedious job. Here we will have two solutions: bet on an external keypad or opt for the protagonist of this article, the keypad «nmbr».

As the inventor of nmbr indicates, if we bet on the first option —an external keypad connected by USB, for example— we lose the ease and great virtue of a laptop; we will always need to be supported on a flat surface to be able to work comfortably. However, with nmbr this is not necessary because attaches —literally— to the laptop's touchpad.

With nmbr you will have three solutions in one: a touchpad protector, a numeric keypad at all times, and an application and shortcut launcher. Its installation is very easy: the sales package is accompanied by the nmbr, a small film that we will place on the computer's touchpad and a cleaning liquid to avoid leaving traces of fingerprints or dust. Once attached, nmbr does not need a USB port to function; You only need to install the software that comes with the accessory. And it will recognize all the gestures that are made on it.

As long as we do not turn on Keypad nmbr, we will have a normal touchpad. Once turned on, we can control connections such as Bluetooth or WiFi, in addition to launching the browser or any application that we have previously defined in the . Finally, tell you that there are different sizes and nmbr is compatible with the MacBook, MacBook Air and Macbook Pro. Its price is 26 dollars (about 22 euros to change) and the first units will reach their owners next November.
