If you own a Magic Trackpad, and thinking to yourself – is there anything it can’t it do? Well for one, it can’t replace the numpad that isn’t present on Apple’s latest Mac keyboards anymore – unless you have Mobee’s Magic Numpad. If you sorely miss the functionality of a numpad on your Mac, this might be solution to your problem. The Mobee Magic Numpad is comprised of “Magic Film” which is placed over the Magic Trackpad, and together with the accompanying software, it turns it into a numpad which can be used to enter numbers easily.Depending on the Magic Film used, different functions are available, i.e. directional keys, page up, page down, etc. Users can even opt for a layout where they have access to both the Trackpad and the numpad, or a set up with a whole bunch of customizable keys, which makes it perfect for gaming. Sure seems like a great way to add a Numpad to your Mac without having to invest in an additional device. Pre-orders are available now for the $29.99 accessory, though the Magic Numpad won’t start shipping until October. Find out more.
