New 3Dconnexion Numpad Pro offers a stand-alone wireless number pad solution

21.03.2023

3Dconnexion, manufacturer of high-performance input devices for CAD and 3D professionals, has launched the Numpad Pro, a wireless number pad. The product is available now and complements the existing portfolio of 3D mice, regular mice and keyboard. Like the entire 3Dconnexion product range, the Numpad Pro is enriched with dedicated features to make working in a variety of CAD and 3D applications as comfortable and efficient as possible.

Numpad Pro: Even more flexibility for the 3D desktop setup

Until now, the Numpad Pro was part of the Keyboard Pro with Numpad. From now on, the number pad is also available separately and offers even more options for optimizing the desktop setup to personalize it for various working styles and workflows. For example, the Numpad Pro can perfectly complement work a SpaceMouse®, laptop or compact keyboards. Depending on the work setup, the number pad can be placed on the right or left side of the  keyboard or neatly stored away to make desk space when it is not being used. The combination with a CadMouse enables a two-handed working style and thus a healthy posture.

Product details

Unlike conventional number pads, the Numpad Pro has four additional function keys (3Dconnexion keys) that are pre-assigned with frequently used, application-specific commands. Thanks to the fast command input via keystroke, the 3Dconnexion keys make work considerably easier and help save valuable time. The keys offer a wide selection of useful shortcuts not only for CAD and 3D applications, but also for office applications. If desired, the key assignment can be easily adapted to personal preferences via the driver menu. In addition, individual macros can be created and assigned to the keys. An overview of all integrated applications can be found on the company's website.

In addition to the 3Dconnexion keys, the Numpad Pro offers five globally configurable arithmetic operators whose function remains the same no matter which application is being used. The decimal separator can be used individually for each application as either a point or a comma. Like the Keyboard Pro, the Numpad Pro has ergonomically shaped keycaps with scissor technology, a large-format palm rest, and rounded keys for a comfortable typing feel. The encrypted, wireless connection meets the highest IT security standards.

Availability and price

The 3Dconnexion Numpad Pro is available for purchase now at the 3Dconnexion website and via selected resellers. The price is 59 euros plus VAT.
