I'm looking for a small and affordable (under $100) wireless keyboard with a built-in trackball. RF is fine. I'd like one of those mini keyboards.

I've searched and haven't had much luck.

Hoping to hook this up to my Cube for a home theater Mac.

I've looked quite extensively for such a thing and haven't found it. Perhaps if enough of us complain, a keyboard manufacturer will visit this site and start to produce one!

Well - sort of anyway - I have a Media Centre PC Cube type PC at home under my Plasma, to browse the web, listen to my iTunes etc, I Purchased an Infra-Red keyboard with a built-in "nipple mouse" and it works just fine. However - and it is a shame for the Mac, it has PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors so is useless for the Mac. Once one arrives as a USB version (and I will keep looking on this forum) I will sell the PeeCee and get a MacMini instead. Just so you know I got the Keyboard on Ebay (brand new) for around £20 - that is around $35 I think in USD
Good Luck !

I have a Versapoint IR keyboard. Works fine w/ the Mini and my plasma, but I prefer a trackball too.

I'm trying one from BTC (taiwan) but it's a joystick.
