Does anyone know of a keyboard/mouse combo? Not a separate keyboard and mouse but one where the mouse is integrated into the keyboard. I wish they would make the bluetooth model for us laptop users.

Ironically I was looking around the other day and found this:

www.adesso.us

Took me a little while to remember where I'd seen it.

Thanks for the reply...

I notice that model appears to be wired and has a trackpad which I am not a big fan. I would love something like the model IBM has whose name escapes me but it is IR and not bluetooth.

Sorry, guess I wasn't a lot of help. Right now, Microsoft is the only mfg. who currently makes a bluetooth keyboard. Additionally, as far as wireless keyboards go (non-bluetooth but RF not IR), no one I've come across yet has a built-in mouse/trackpad/trackball/pointer. It seems to be external wireless mouse or nothing.

Incidentally, I'm confused. How can you build a mouse to a keyboard? Either you'd have to move the whole keyboard, or...? Aren't you looking for a keyboard with a trackball or eraser-joystick (like Toshiba/IBM laptops)? Regardless, good luck.

Sorry for the unclarity but yes you are correct. It is a trackpad or stick combo and not the usual mouse.
