“#Microsoft made a $25 Bluetooth number pad for your Surface<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n There are two types of people in the world: those who never use keyboard number pads, and those who can\u2019t live without one. Going \u2018tenkeyless\u2019 means you have more room on your desk for a big mouse pad and accessories, but it can quickly become annoying when you need to enter a bunch of figures into a spreadsheet in rapid succession.<\/p>\n

Now you don\u2019t have to choose, for Microsoft has created the $25, aptly-named\u00a0Bluetooth Number Pad that you can add to any PC.<\/p>\n

Okay, so Microsoft is far from the first<\/a> to cook up a separate number pad. But despite the fact the\u00a0device should work with any computer, I can\u2019t help but feel like it was devised for Surface users missing those extra keys when inputting data into Excel. It looks pretty classy for a niche accessory, comes in both black and grey colorways, and even includes a button to launch a calculator app<\/a> because, you know,\u00a0numbers.<\/em><\/p>\n

While for many people a number pad may be superfluous \u2014 and it just won\u2019t fit on most laptops \u2014 I can imagine Microsoft\u2018s accessory could be handy to keep at your desk for when you need to do a bunch of number crunching. Number pads are also preferred by some game<\/a>rs for macros and the like.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just one of the accessories Microsoft is announcing alongside the new Surface Laptop Go and Pro X. Others include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Microsoft Designer Keyboard ($70): A slim laptop-style keyboard with Bluetooth support for three devices and 2-year battery life.<\/li>\n
  • 4K Wireless Display Adapter($70): Lets you display your PC\u2019s content on a projector or TV wirelessly at 4K resolution.<\/li>\n
  • Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse ($50): A mouse with a sculpted shape that\u2019s supposed to be ergonomic and lightweight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The new devices will be available soon from Microsoft\u2018s online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n
