I ask this question as I try to use my recliner as a workstation and the mouse is the only setback right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recliner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recliner I already placed a huge flat monitor on a stand at 45 degrees from the horizon so my neck rests comfortably in the recliner. A wireless keyboard fits nicely on my lap, but I would like it to have a trackpad instead, to have my dream workstation complete. More or less something like this: http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/4290/keytrak.jpg http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/4290/keytrak.jpg (No, laptops are not an option)

They already exist. I performed extensive research and came up with exactly what you want: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=wireless+keyboard+trackpad http://lmgtfy.com/?q=wireless+keyboard+trackpad

  I like this option as well. My hand doesn't have to move at all to mouse. http://www.amazon.com/IBM-USB-Keyboard-UltraNav-31P8950/dp/B00009APTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1245943376&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/IBM-USB-Keyboard-UltraNav-31P8950/dp/B...

Have you considered a trackball? It seems to me that attaching a large trackball to the arm of your chair would be far better than having a trackpad on your keyboard.

  Yes, I considered a trackball but attaching something to my recliner is not an option. That's why I got interested in a keyboard w/trackpad. Tx.

I've considered all the options suggested and ALL of them are crippled versions of a keyboard, like for mobile use. I am more inclined for a huge MS ergo keyboard but with a trackpad instead of num-pad.
