[Wear-Hard] USB Mouse with integrated 10-key keypad + backspace

[Bear Naff]

It has been fairly well covered in this list that a visual-paradigm GUI is
not the best option for wearable and ubiquitous computing design.  However,
for those who would like to stick to a traditional desktop/laptop interface
style, I present this potentially much-cheaper cousin of the Twiddler.

I do not as yet know of a commercial source of the mice, but it seems like
this would be a reasonable hardware platform to modify into a belt-hanging
chording keyboard + mouse.  (Assumedly by re-routing the mouse cable through
the body of the mouse so it emerges at the other end, and writing some sort
of chording-style input scheme for the 10-key pad)
