Quite a few laptops try and include a numberpad into the system but for those few who can’t incorporate it, here is an easy solution! Number Pad Film for Touchpad is this sticker and program combo that turns your regular touchpad into a makeshift number pad. Install the program and select the hotkeys and you are ready to go. I think it’s quite a clever idea, I’ll sign up for one!
Number Pad Film for Touchpad is a 2011 red dot design concept winning entry.

Very nice idea!
It’s a nice solution for the number keyboard.
You are addressing a real problem here. I remember when I was trying to learn the 3D software blender on my laptop, it was often a nightmare because there was no hot keys.
Personally, I’ve never had this problem, but if it works, it works. Certainly a good concept.
Sounds like a really good idea. Is there a downlink available for the app ?
this is just quick “copy-past” of this product : http://www.mobeetechnology.com/the-magic-numpad.html
designers, be creativ, come on !
There is an option in Preferences that let you use number keys without having numpad.
good one…
Is it inspired by the Windows’ NumLock function?

Has anyone made this available yet? I looked at the red dot design website and it doesn’t even list the 2011 winners. I couldn’t find any information elsewhere.
