Apple keyboard with numeric keypad wrist pad portable#
Its setup isn’t necessarily “connect and go”, but once set up, it’s very reliable and portable between laptops. If you’ve been reluctant to try it and yet are frustrated by not having a usable external numeric, this is the solution. This Remote KeyPad & NumPad app really works and is a huge timesaver. I can only conclude that Apple wants you to buy their accessories, since prioritizing an OS solution to this problem (as reported in multiple blogs) just hasn’t happened. All elaborate reset solutions for SMC and NVRAM offered by Apple were time-consuming and ultimately ineffective/useless.

The Logitech K380 Mac is a reasonable low cost alternative to the Magic Keyboard, but again, the key spacing and key feel isn’t as good as Apple’s. I kind-of like the Logitech K400 Plus and Logitech K600 TV for keyboard and trackpad use, but the key spacing is a little bit too close for extended use and the trackpads aren’t nearly as good as Apple’s. The closest so far is Magic Keyboard (small) + Logitech MX ERGO trackball w/tilt base + Magic Trackpad 2. I’ve tried a half dozen keyboards in the past couple of years and have yet to find perfection.

To keep the total footprint as narrow as possible I have to use the smallest keyboard I’m comfortable with, one with full sized keys, like Apple’s Magic Keyboard.
I use a keyboard + trackball + trackpad (in that order) and need everything to be within easy reach. The fixture shown above is fine for lots of folks, but the reality of having a full sized keyboard with a full sized trackpad doesn’t fit how I use my Macs. It’s good for that purpose, emailing or web browsing from the sofa, but it’s nowhere near as good for extended keyboard/trackpad use as a MacBook keyboard/trackpad. I use a Logitech K600 that has an integrated trackpad on the right side on my home theatre connected Mac mini. None of them look very appealing or have trackpads that are close to the ones on Apple’s MacBooks in terms of size, and I suspect ease of use. If you search Amazon you’ll find third party USB keyboards with a small trackpad in the front. I guess it wouldn’t be too hard to make with a piece of wood and a router. Is there something like this that uses the standard laptop configuration, with the trackpad in front of the keyboard? I’ve found it hard to get used to using a trackpad to the side of the keyboard after many years of laptop use, and the wrist-rest benefit of the laptop configuration is nice too.
