BakkerElkhuizen Ultraboard 955 V2 numpad

An ode to the UltraBoard 955 V2 Numeric

The number-crunching sidekick

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

Why this product?

For anyone who occasionally speaks 'many numbers' as a working language

The UltraBoard 955 V2 Numeric is designed as an addition to a compact keyboard when you regularly need to enter large quantities of numbers. You can use it with either your left or right hand, allowing you to distribute the load and maintain comfort, even if your day mainly consists of tables.

Readable, quiet, and precise

BakkerElkhuizen has opted for a matte, 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 (fine 'cups' for your fingertips) and the distance between the keys is 19 mm according to DIN EN ISO.

Usage explanation

Connect it to a USB port on your computer or keyboard, and you can start immediately. A green indicator light illuminates in the top right when it's 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 section 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. This reduces strain on your forearm and shoulder, and it also simply makes working more comfortable.

Also not to be missed

A quick measure (well, mainly a quick slide)

Are you using a compact setup? 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.
