Touchpads are small squares that sense the position of your finger on them, and then move the cursor accordingly.  Touchpads are stationary and requires little force to use, and as a result they may help reduce stress on your fingers, hands, arms and shoulders. A touchpad takes up very little desk space and some models offer hot keys to minimize keyboard use. Ergo Works offers keyboards with built-in touchpads or stand alone touchpads, as well as Tablets with a pen stylus or mouse.
