Hi all.
I am sure I am not the first one to see these, but just in case I thought I would post a picture.

I have been looking for one of these for a while as I intend on making a stand for my Steel console which sits directly over my laptops keyboard.
I still like to have a mouse handy for "emergencies" and initial setup and this way I can still have 17 odd keyboard shortcuts too, even with the keyboard covered.
It isn't the most stylish or even that practical with the plastic lid (might remove it) but at only $35AU it's worth a try.
Matt.

if they can fit the whole qwerty key board in there, and still have it small enough to be a mouse, then i'll buy.

Lol @ qwerty comment :)
It is actually better than I thought it would be.
As a mouse it is about the same size as you bog standard MS mouse (slightly narrower, slightly longer), and functions about the same.
The number keys are roughly 12mm (almost 1/2") wide, compared to a standard laptop key which is roughly 18mm (almost 3/4"), so it is still quite usable for shortcuts.
