This one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250476024429) went for £11.50 + £5 P&P. Maybe these will go for less.

See this (http://geekhack.org/showpost.php?p=87045&postcount=28), I don't know if the pointer will work without a driver.

The stick works. It is just a bit too hard. If you don't use a mouse you can crank up your mouse settings which will make it softer.

I did buy one of these eventually for £10 all in. The "trackpoint" works OK without drivers (I already had mouse speed set fairly high.) The only thing awkward for me is I was hitting the mouse buttons instead of the space bar. Still, a nice item, you'd be hard pushed to find any other decent keyboard with mousing device at this size. Even comes with a neoprene slip case and a larger rigid case for holding the Q1 device as well as the keyboard (I'm sure I'll find a use for it!)
