We're long overdue to bring back keyboard attached trackballs.
This seems like the next best thing, except they paid no attention to prior art.
The trackball belongs in the upper corner of the keyboard on the side of the dominant hand.
The young engineers these days don't even know how to attach a trackball to a keyboard correctly...
If anyone needs me, I will be outside yelling at the Cloud. (Because I am old and things were better back in my day.)
Edit: I gotta admit, those shots of it next to the spacebar look promising, actually...now that I've had my Werther's original to bring my blood sugar up.
I don't care for the trackball that much, but I wouldn't mind a laptop nipple on my keyboard.

This is a trackball that is very interesting to me for the mobility aspect as well as the idea of not having to move your hands much. Seems to now be for sale on Amazon in Europe so I decided to add it to my ball collection even if the shop is not the one I would use given good alternatives.
