Hiya all. I was wondering what pointing options there were out there for split ergo keyboards? Looking around, on the face of it there seems to be the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and well that’s about it. There seem to be plenty of trackballs at various prices but nothing that looks particularly small and nondescript.

I will give mouse keys a try but I am really not convinced. If I could get my little Chromebook to display RDP colours correctly it may be that having a touchscreen would do just fine as an alternative.

    Ok here is a slightly tangential answer to my own post.

    Wacom Intuos Small

    It’s a bit on the large side at 20cm x 16cm but it has bluetooth and supports Windows, Mac and ChromeOS, and can be used as a pointing device with advanced gestures.

    That’s 4cm wider and deeper than the magic trackpad with probably the same active area (the outside edges of the Intuos aren’t touch sensitive) but it is almost half the price of the magic trackpad and fully supported on other operating systems.

    I’m kind of tempted but it is kind of huge.
