I've been asked to modify a computer for a person who has impaired function
in her right shoulder.  She's looking for a pointing device which won't
require her to move her right arm too much.  We've tried keyboards with
built-in trackpads and keyboards with built in trackballs, but they all
have problems of  one kind or another (mainly the position of the device
and/or buttons).

I seem to recall that a few years back there were keyboards available with
an IBM Thinkpad-style pointing stick sitting between the H and J keys and
the buttons right below the space bar. This would be ideal as it would
require zero shoulder joint movement at all to use.  Does anyone know if
these things are still available and where one can get hold of them?
Anyone got one for sale?
