Bluetooth Numeric Keypad

Mobee Magic Numpad turns Apple's TrackPad into a temporary numeric keypad

While everyone around you seems to be flicking and swiping at their computer’s trackpad, you’re still pushing the cursor about in fits of mousing nostalgia. That’s ok, change is hard. We get it. Fortunately, Mobee’s here to help ease you into the future of human-computer interaction. Mobee’s Magic Numpad transforms Apple’s unassuming Magic Trackpad into a highly customizable number keypad. A welcome trick now that Apple’s standard keyboard ships without the physical numpad extension. For $29.90 / €29.90, Mobee will provide you with the software, pen, and three “Magic Films” required to transform your Trackpad into a numpad + trackpad, an extended numpad, or a numpad with customizable keys. A smart, temporary solution when you need it and yet another argument supporting cries of the mouse is dead.

It’s possible the mouse will be fairly niche at some point; but I think that much like how Larry Ellison thought that the 90′s was ripe for the rise of the Network Computer and the end of all local storage, and how that dream is only now really taking the first steps towards reality, the mouse won’t be disappearing on the same timescale as Apple may be foresaging.
