Pointing sticks are absolutely awful; I can't imagine why you'd want one of these integrated into your keyboard. My work laptop has a pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard and the only purpose it serves is to make g, h, and b very difficult to hit without sending my mouse pointer flying all over the screen.
I can only imagine you type with some very flat hands.
have someone tried both the das keyboard and the unicomp spacesaver*?
which one is the best*?

Oh yeah, I forgot about the French thing. If Unicomp can't scrounge up the parts for a French Space Saver you can do the International Mini mod.

I'm typing this on the exact Das Keyboard Ripster just posted a picture on and it's great. From what I've read the Filco Majestouch is nearly identical other than the non-glossy finish and supposedly marginally better build quality. I think either would be a great choice and, given your financial situation, I'd choose whichever you can grab cheaper because the differences are so slight. That is, if there is a price difference then I can't imagine that you'll ever regret not buying the more expensive one rather than the cheaper one.
