Promising! but as Christopher mentioned, "This item is Discontinued".
I had luck searching for another 56 key keyboard ("50%"?): USD $23.73
Good find. It looks to be the same keyboard.

The X/Y dimensions are very similar, though it's 60% heavier and 5mm thicker. Dimensions: 6.69 in x 2.91 in x 0.79 in (170 x 74 x 20 mm) Weight: 6.53 oz (185g)
I think I'd miss the dedicated arrow keys. I'd like it even more if it had an integrated trackball or trackpoint,
That would make it much easier to integrate it in a pc card cabinet. I have searched for wired usb touchpads and trackpoints. I have not found any.
which I guess requires a USB hub device/emulation as well?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick
Nick.
I have bought one 7usd bluetooth small keyboard. It appears to have a touchpad too. I cannot say how difficult it will be to modify it to a wired usb keyboard.
There is the https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/images/Pyra-Main.png cabinet. If the 3d printer cad files are free software.
