I've got an IR keyboard with two point-stick things that work fairly well. Don't recall anything with a touchpad though. One stick is in the middle of the keyboard (rarely use this one) and the other is at the top right. I use the one on the top right most often when I'm not typing and need only to use the mouse functionality. Range is excellent and so are the diretional properties - don't even have to aim at the sensor. The same 4 AA NiMH batteries lasted me such a long time I forget how long it was. It was far longer than half a year and probably closer to 1. Then a simple 3 hour recharge and I'm set again.

The keyboard is the Webboard. Hard to find the site for right now because there's also a forum software package with the same name.
