Any good wireless keyboards with built-in trackpads?

Hello all,

I'm putting together a HTPC and I think the best thing for it would be a wireless keyboard (preferrably RF) with a built-in trackpad. One of those little stick-mouse-type-things would be fine, too. Does anyone know of a good keyboard like this?


Thanks,
Swan

Did you ever find such a keyboard? I may be in the same boat... already have one, a generic I bought at a computer show with a layout almost like a notebook keyboard with a trachball under right thumb and two mouse buttons under left thumb (when you hold the two sides of the keyboard). It is RF, and has a claimed 15' range. Perfect, except... it started to glitch, losing functionality of right side keys (yuiophjklnm don't work or give garbage, Enter/CTRL/ALT still work). Left my HTPC on last night and this morning the keyboard doesn't work at all. Won't recalibrate. Checked batteries with voltmeter and is fine. After system rebooted, all lights on the keyboard wireless receiver stays on.
