I use one pad|mouse combined with Fn keys defined as mouse buttons (with
chording). This works only on Plan 9, not on plan9ports, but, I found it very very
convenient. I usually end up with one hand in the mouse plus the left hand on
Fns, when not in typing mode.
I guess, regarding usability, that using an external pad could be as convenient.
