Behold the future (of keyboards). New from far away lands comes this $69 wireless slim keyboard with “Smart TouchPad.” See that touchpad in the lower right corner there? It’s a multitouch trackpad that switches to a ten-key number pad — like magic!
The multitouch feature registers a series of two- and three-finger presses for scrolling, zooming, window switching, tapping, and more. The entire keyboard is less than 3/4 of an inch thick and includes 18 hotkeys for launching various programs. The wireless USB adapter snaps into the bottom of the keyboard if you want to travel with it. Might make a good keyboard for a Media Center PC or for people who prefer trackpads over mice.

it even attaches the rf receiver the same way as the adesso model, i have one, it works great…
I used to have a TouchStream Stealth (from TouchStream, the company Apple bought their Multitouch technology from. What, you were expecting original technology from the Disney of computer manufacturers?).
The problem with any key surface that is flat and unresponsive is there’s no tactile feedback, so you’ll be key bouncing and accidentally-typing your way to imminent frustration until your pretty new keyboard is lodged in the nearest wall.
