Just push any number 0 through 9 on the watch, and it’ll blink out the current time using small LEDs mounted into the face of each button. The display supports both 12- and 24-hour time modes. A press of the pound sign shows the date, using the same blinking LED method.

The chunky buttons are supposed to be reminiscent of a computer keyboard, but to me they look more like an old pushbutton phone. Either way, it’s definitely a unique design, and I’m pretty sure the guy standing next to you won’t be wearing one.

You can get the Keypad watch in dark blue or ivory with blue LEDs, brown or black with white LEDs, or grey with red LEDs. I particularly like the brown and grey ones as they look very militaristic to me.

They’re available now at Watchismo now for $89.99 (USD) each. Just don’t try to do any math with one – you will fail.

The film is placed upon the Magic Trackpad. You can use different functions, from directional keys, page up, page down, etc.  Each kit comes with three different “key” configuration overlays for you to choose from. One even combines the numeric keyboard and trackpad. There’s also one with several programmable keys, which could make this a pretty convenient accessory.

The Magic Numpad kit sells for $29.99 (USD) and you can pre-order it from Mobee, but it won’t start shipping until October.

While this might seem an odd peripheral for some people, especially those that have both a plain old calculator and a mouse on their desks, the mouse can double as a numeric keypad. Most of today’s new, minimal keyboards eschew the numeric keypad, so this is really handy for bringing that back.

This mouse has Bluetooth connectivity and is made out of recycled materials from Canon copiers.

If you don’t like the layout of these buttons, you could always just ask Google or Wolfram Alpha to do your calculations for you (which is what I do).

It took a while to get through the FCC, but the Cropmark LMP Bluetooth Keyboard is finally on sale. The wireless numeric keypad looks just like something you’d buy directly from Apple. In addition to numbers, you get a bunch of extra keys, including F13-F17, page down, page up, and delete keys. It also comes with a linkage bar allowing you to easily snap it to a stock Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. The keyboard will set you back $39.99 (USD) and it won’t work with your iPad or Windows machines; it’s only for Macs.

According to the FCC, this LMP Keypad is Bluetooth keypad that connects to your regular iMac keyboard. It’s designed to be almost identical to the original Apple keyboard, so it should look like one solid device, albeit with a bit of a ridge where they connect. We’ve no word on pricing or availability yet, but I for one will say that I’m happy to see it coming to the market.

Those who want their peripherals to blend in with the rest of their computer will be glad to know that the 10 Key also comes in black and white.

I don’t know if there’s any way to re-map the arrow keys though, and that could be a problem if you’re used to the 2-4-6-8 layout of ordinary numpads. Unless of course that functionality is baked into you operating system and not in the peripheral itself.

You can get the 10 Key at Retail Factory for £50 (approx. $80 USD). I guess the dual functionality and the design were factored into the formula used to derive the price.

I wish so badly that I could explain the rationale behind this or tell you whether or not it’s concept art or a commercial product, but I still haven’t learned how to read Japanese characters. (Note to self: learn how to read Japanese characters.) I can tell you that it comes from Pantograph, whose website has lots of other odd an unexplainable objects on display.

You’d need a pretty big living room to pull this off, since they really look their best when they’re all together in their “official” arrangement. But if you did pull this off, I mean, shoot. I’d totally come to your party.
