On the one hand we have a patented and award winning design and on the other hand we have the users who will surely think twice before they give this a try. Let us see how this works. You can type normally and once you need to use the mouse you use your right hand to touch a certain spot on the right unit to activate mouse mode. This means there is no way to hit the keys accidentally while using mouse mode or move the cursor while typing.

It actually does not look that bad in motion, take a look at this presentation video to get an idea how combimouse works. It still seems to be kinda awkward to move the right unit as a mouse especially when you consider that some keys on the right unit function as mouse buttons when in mouse mode. Would you consider buying this ?
