This wireless keyboard from gadget mavens Brando looks like an ordinary keyboard at first glance, but it holds a trump card by including a two-button touch pad similar to those you'll find on a notebook. The keyboard itself comes with 88 standard keys, 11 programmable media hot keys (I've never used these before as I find them more to be a novelty than anything else) and is compatible with Windows ME, 2000, XP, and Vista. The keyboard probably communicates via 2.4GHz RF and is powered by a quartet of AA batteries, with no word on the battery life. If you're so used to a touchpad, then this $57 keyboard for your home PC is a candidate to consider. Otherwise, get a mouse and get on with the program already.
