    WTB: Keyboard: Slim Low Profile, Pointing Device, Wireless

    External Keyboard with Slim Low Profile, Integrated Pointing Device, Wireless

    I have recently gotten a Laptop Stand that elevates my Inspiron 9300 screen to a good desktop level. I do have a low profile keyboard but I might want more than that.

    Keyboard Attributes:

    1) Low Profile - It must have an ultra-slim low profile
    2) Trackball or Trackpad or Trackpoint (preferably in the center) - I want to be able to navigate with minimal effort from the keyboarad. I have a nice mouse but it means moving my hands away.
    3) Wireless (preferably Bluetooth) so that I can place it on the desk or on my lap as and when needed. I am guessing a keyboard with long cable might be usable but it i'll have the mess of wires to deal with

    I'd appreciate suggestions.

    I was in the market for a low-profle keyboard (after typing on a laptop keyboard I would have found it impossible to go back to a clunky typical desktop keyboard) and couldn't find anything thatt was both moderately priced and wireless. I didn't need a pointing device.

    Considering your slightly different needs, I have to say this seems perfect for you, but be warned, it is quite expensive. It has a laptop-style keyboard, pointing device, and bluetooth, among other things.

    I present the Logitech diNovo Edge™

    EDIT- Much cheaper on Newegg...
