I'm one of those people who NEVER has enough space on their desk for their mouse. Has anyone tried one of the keyboards with built-in trackball, and if so would you mind posting/emailing a brief review? I'd be especially interested in the layout and feel of the keyboard portion (assuming the trackball part is compatible with the Microsoft Mouse). Thanks for your help.
