I have a combination keyboard and trackball (from Chicony - I don't
have the model number handy and I'm not sure it is being manufactured
any longer).
The trackball replaces the arrow keys <sigh> and the _three_ buttons
are on the bottom edge, on the left below the shift keys. An idea
that needs a few more iteration, to borrow a phrase. And I couldn't
quite get all three buttons to work with Plan 9, when I wasn't sure
how comfortable the whole thing would be anyway.
