Go hand-gliding. (Alps Electric USA's Alps GlidePoint Keyboard)(Product Announcement)(Brief Article).

Let your fingers do the gliding with the new Alps GlidePoint Keyboard. Below the keys, you'll find a touch-sensitive GlidePoint touchpad to guide your pointer on-screen. For left mouse clicks, you can either tap the pad or use one of the three buttons set in a half-moon below. This keyboard has been updated for Windows 95 with an oversize key and a key to call up context-sensitive menus, along with a split spacebar (half the bar is used for backspacing, usually by the nondominant hand). Alps Electric includes an attachable contoured wrist rest. The keyboard plugs into a PS/2 port but comes with both serial and 5-pin port adapters. It's compatible with Windows 95, Windows 3.1, DOS, and standard OS/2 and Windows NT drivers. List price is $149.95. Alps Electric, 800/825-2577, 408/432-6000.
