I use a similar tactic -- I removed the keycaps from the numeric
keypad, and mounted a trackball (logitech marble or marble+, NOT the
marble FX). I've been using it for a couple years, and am quite happy
with it. At home, it's nice because the user input can be moved
around (lap, desk, passed to other person) as one piece, not two,
while at work it's much nicer with the under-the-desktop keyboard
trays (which dramatically increase the delay for mouse users, in my
experience).
If only I could work up something similar for a laptop...
