Particularly all users of Mi Notebook Pro 15.6 (actually only the Chinese ones) by June 4 they will be able to register on the Xiaomi website to participate in the request for Nums, an ultra-thin keyboard that turns the laptop trackpad into a smart numeric keypad able to launch applications and websites with a simple swipe and at the same time protects the trackpad surface integrated into the notebook. Nums was created by Luckey Inc. e already boasts international awards such as RedDot and Good Design in Japan. Details for the request can be found at this address.
The keyboard shows up with transparent design with thickness of only 0,26 mm that once attached in an adhesive way to the trackpad allows you to reduce the movement of the fingers of 66% and increase 2,3 times typing numbers. Through gesture it will be possible to recall some applications or websites, increasing the productivity at the office level. Compatible with the Windows 10 gesture the Nums keyboard it only requires drivers but no power supply.
The hotkey matrix consisting of multiple blocks gives you ample space for positioning your content. You can drag your favorite web pages, programs or files and instantly move your fingers to another location to continue your work. P.to be absent from "number mode" to "mouse mode" is extremely simple, just swipe inward from the top right corner of the trackpad. But iThe accompanying software is really smart, able to recognize when you do not type the numbers and in case you forget to change modes, he will do it for us. When the one-finger movement is longer than the classic normal movement for numeric typing, the Nums keyboard will automatically return to “mouse mode”. Finally the symbols are printed on the back of the glass, which is slightly faded, with metallic ink which reflects the light in a dark environment, improving the user experience.
