to use keyboard shortcuts, is much less swift. Are there devices to ease that?

I haven't used MacOS before, but I think it is easier than windows in some multitasking scenarios. However, I think a physical device (not touch) would be much better, so what are some such devices (or any device in general) to do that?

PS: I'm talking about Desktop situation.

I've seen something like a numpad which had arrows or something similar. I think it has some specialized use (I think programmable buttons).
