I knew there was a reason track balls always seemed attractive.
Think about it.  Most track balls are small as a mouse or ones can be
found that small.  Track balls don't need a pad or surface and with
som velcro or double face tape can attach to a keyboard.  Not bulky
and doesn't have to be a permanent mount and no extra surface needed.
Now if some keyboard folks are out there how about putting trackballs
into the keyboard.
