[Elecraft] K3/P3 Accessory Idea?

I've posted this here before. Great keyboard ergonomics. 
Built in palm rest. great rebound, FB feel.  I use it all
day and no carpal tunnel fatigue. Made for daily use by
video professionals.

Works right now, today, using N1MM Contest Logger and is
stupidly easy to program with a GUI app that comes with the
keyboard.  The knob can be programmed to do both VFO and
RIT. N1MM Automatically switches the wheel from one to the
other depending on if you're doing S&P or Running. The
little buttons atop the jog/shuttle wheel are set as F11
(Wipe QSO) and F12 (Clearrit) in my contest key macro
settings. The buttons on the top can be programmed with
logger keystroke macros.  M7 sets split, M8 clears split,
the |<< button takes me up one spot on the bandmap and the
>>| button takes me down one spot on the bandmap.  Very
handy.  

Of course, you can set all of the buttons to do any macro or
keyboard function you want, these are the ones I use here.
I've been using one in contests for over three years, no
issues. Hardly ever touch the radio anymore.

AAMOF, Im typing this message on the one I have at work on a
Mac Pro for video editing.  I also use a trackball with it,
the track ball (Logitek Marble Mouse USB) plugs into a USB
port on the keyboard (it has two). The other one has a USB
light bar I found in and electronic store in Singapore for
$1. (I dont like the Bella light, too small).

Works wonderfully on both PC and Mac.

I've seen this.  The problem is it's so big.

Ideally the K3RTI (K3 Remote Tuning Interface)  will be
small enough to 
place beside the keyboard.  I like an uncluttered desktop
with a minimum 
of hand movements.
