The laptop keyboard on virtually all devices isn't designed with a number pad in order to save space, so the 'Nums' is intended to turn your laptop trackpad into a functional spot for crunching numbers. Working with the MacBook, the 'Nums' device works by being placed overtop of the trackpad in order to instantly add multiple functionalities that can be used in a multitude of different ways.
The 'Nums' can be used as a traditional number keypad, while it can also be utilized in order to launch specific apps or even specific websites with different gestures. The 'Nums' for the MacBook laptop trackpad also works to provide protection for your computer's trackpad to keep it working without error despite the rigorous usage you perform.
