Off-topic, but I'm hoping someone on the list might be of help.

I'm looking for a wireless keyboard (BT or RF) with a pointing device built in (I'd prefer a trackball, but a glidepoint or gumstick will -- reluctantly -- do) that is as completely as possible compatible with Ubuntu Linux.

It would be used on a Linutop mini pc, so the pc end has to be USB. I've found several offers on eBay, but at least one of the models is advertised expicitly as not Linux compatible, which made me a bit careful about throwing in a bid.

Nevermind, folks. I just eBayed myself a "Toughball" (don't you just love those product names? :rolleyes: ) all-in-one keyboard, for less than 100 Euro.

It works with Linux, but the hotkeys require work (but I don't use those anyway, so--)
