    Where would you put it? If you type with both hands that’s the most convenient. I’ve only seen side touchpads on small 6-7" laptops where there is no space there, and you can’t type with both hands due to their size. GPD has some models like that, e.g. GPD MicroPC:

      We’re already using cables to interconnect the peripherals to the main computer. That’s the whole gimmick of the glasses. Why not have a keyboard on top of the computer, laptop style, with a wired USB module with the IO ports and a trackpad on top? You could recess the port on both ends so the base is flush with the body of either module, so it looks like a permanent part of the PC but is still removable for replacement and transportation.

      I’ve seen people’s wrists accidentally touch the touchpad while typing and completely screw up what they were doing. It’s happened to me personally as well.

      I don’t know if there’s a better placement, but it’s worth considering. I have seen Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combos that have the touchpad to the right of the keys, but no personal experience with them.
