However, I want to mention right off the bat, before I get into its features that, for now, this device is only available for the MacBook series of laptops from Apple and the Surface series from Microsoft.

Features

Your laptop already has a touchpad, but you’re only able to use it as a mouse replacement, but Nums allows you to do so much more with it. As a life-long laptop user, I have to say that I love my laptop’s touchpad, it saves me so much time since I don’t have to reach for the mouse anymore. I can go from the keyboard to the touchpad in seconds, allowing me to shift between writing and navigating easily, making the whole working and browsing the internet experience very smooth. If you’re like me, you probably couldn’t live without your touchpad, but the magic doesn’t end here since you can update it with Nums.

But how many things can it do? Well, you know those small, additional numeric keyboards that you can buy and use for accounting, games or anything else you can think of? Well, Nums can easily do that, without having to move your hand away from the laptop and then back to the touchpad when you want to move your mouse’s cursor. But wait, there’s even more. You can launch your favorite apps and websites directly with a single swipe, without having to search for them anymore. As you may already know, your trackpad can deteriorate over time, but thankfully, this tiny device can also protect it since it’s scratch free.

Design

If I said it once, I’d say it a thousand times, for any device, no matter its purpose, the design is critical, it has to be pleasant to the eyes. And, you’re going to stick Nums to your laptop, you don’t want something big and ugly that destroys your whole design experience, you want something that blends in, something that you barely notice.

When they say ultra-thin, they are certainly not joking since the glass is only 0.26mm thick and with ink specially designed for them of only 0.001mm thickness, plus, it’s completely transparent, making it look like it’s not even there.

Conclusion

Speed is the name of the game, the faster you’re doing something, the more time for yourself and your loved ones you win and this device is certainly going to save you hours in the long run. If you’re thinking of claiming yours, you can get one for as low as $39 in pre-order, and they will also launch international retailing sometime this year so make sure to keep an eye out.
