— manipulator that combines both touchpad and number key block («Num block»). As a rule, it has the appearance of touch surface with the numbers applied to it, installed in the right part of the keyboard. The specific operating format of such device can be different: with manual switching between modes, with automatic switching depending on the active application and even with automatic recognition of the type of touch (digit press is processed as keyboard, finger slide as touchpad). In any case, this is rather specific option, which is also expensive; it is found mainly in gaming laptops.
