the rest of the keyboard is much better

How come? Most of the look like this - basically laptop keyboard without a laptop. Not exactly sure how separation of keyboard from laptop can suddenly make it "much better".

two things.

1. having it be separate lets you position it better.

2. I was actually assuming that you would get a 'real' keyboard. In the past I've seen full-size M series type 'clicky' keyboards that have the erasermouse pointer in them.

by the way, I somewhat question if a thumb on a trackpad is really that much less accurate than the erasermouse joysticks, but I guess that's a personal preference :-)
