BakkerElkhuizen Ultraboard 955 V2 numpad

An ode to the UltraBoard 955 V2 Numeric

The numeric sidekick

Some days you're human. Other days you're a calculator with feelings. And precisely on those days, you don't want to go on a world tour with your right arm to reach your mouse, because a fixed numpad is glued to your keyboard. The UltraBoard 955 V2 Numeric is such a compact sidekick: place it down, punch in numbers, then slide it away again.

Why this product?

For anyone who occasionally speaks "a lot of numbers" as a working language

The UltraBoard 955 V2 Numeric is intended as an addition to a compact keyboard when you regularly need to enter large quantities of numbers. You can work with it on both the left and right, allowing you to distribute the strain and maintain comfort, even if your day mainly consists of spreadsheets.

Readable, quiet and precise

BakkerElkhuizen opts for a matt, light-coloured set of keys with dark letters here, to limit reflections and improve readability. The scissor mechanism keeps typing quiet and light. The keys are concave (nice "hollows" for your fingertips) and the distance between the keys is 19 mm according to DIN EN ISO.

Instructions for use

Connect it to a USB port on your computer or keyboard and you can get started straight away. A green indicator light illuminates in the top right when it is ready for use. If the light is off, you can reactivate it with NumLock + Fn.

Ergonomic benefits

The advantage lies in freedom: you place the numeric part to the left or right of your compact keyboard. If you put it away when you don't need it, you minimise the reach distance to your mouse. That reduces strain on your forearm and shoulder and also makes working more pleasant.

Don't miss this either

A quick measure (well, mainly a quick slide)

Are you using a compact set-up? Try placing the numpad on the left if your mouse is on the right. Or vice versa. The goal is simple: mouse close by, shoulders relaxed, forearm in line. Switching sides is allowed.
