Keyboard with inbuilt mouse

Stretch · 17 Dec 2007 at 13:24

I'm looking for a keyboard with an inbuilt mouse to use with a PC hooked up to the TV. I'd like it to be compacted and under £30 if possible. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. If you can link due to competitor could you just leave make and model numbers.

I use one of these for pc on tv, its got a touch pad like on a laptop and is pretty good.
Ideal for sitting a fair distance away from the pc as its wireless aswel

Microsoft Media Centre Keyboard is about that sort of money. Unfortunately the mouse pointer thing is pretty naff and the whole thing only works on XP Media Centre Edition or Vista.

Take a look for keyboards designed for server environments - we have a few kicking about work that are small form factor (no numeric keypad) and have a Trackpoint style joystick thing in the middle of the keys.

I have this little keyboard, cost me £25 a few months back I think. Has a built in mouse on the right, although its kinda like a joystick but does the job.

Thanks guys. I went with mattyj1085's choice as it offers a touch pad rather than track ball mouse. Never got to grips with the track ball style mice. Looks like it's got some good review on other sites so should be exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers.
