Japanese gadget maker Elecom has announced the TK-TCT005BK [JP], a combination of a numeric keyboard for notebooks and touchpad supporting gestures. You can switch between both functions by pressing the “Num” button on the top left of the device.
The touchpad lets you zoom in and out by using your fingers (see the graphic below). However, the USB device only works with Windows PCs.
Get the TK-TCT005BK over at Geek Stuff 4U in case you live outside Japan (price: $72.80 plus shipping).

Hi,
I am fond of technology this type of technology was really great i like it most.
And this will helpful me so i will definitely use it.
I wonder: why not integrate a touchpad that has a display into notebooks. Simply to show some numbers and */- signs, etc. Actually make this idea a bit prettier (not have to look at the numbers all the time) and make it a little more portable.

This would be great if it were integrated in a laptop touchpad. An extra touchpad for a laptop or a desktop doesn’t really make sense, does it?
Or is it a numpad with zoom capability?
