I've found several wireless, mini keyboard/touchpad and mini keyboard/trackball combos out there but I'm having a really tough time finding something full sized. At this point I'm looking at buying an expensive wireless trackball and physically mounting it next to a full sized wireless keyboard but I'm not happy with that solution. Any suggestions you might give will be greatly appreciated.

What exactly do you mean by "full sized"?

I bought one of these recently for my DVR: http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-7-30keyboard.htm#9039URFIII

As a keyboard i'm quite pleased with it. The integrated pointing device works, but it's not as responsive as a regular mouse or track pad. But, it serves my needs quite well and the price was right (open box on eBay).
 
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I'd seen that particular keyboard before but it's one of the mini style. I need to find a full-size keyboard, i.e. standard key arrangement with number pad. I'm a professional software developer so I use my keyboard a LOT and the small factor keyboards are a real pain to type with all day long. I have a severly hernitated disk in my low back and I can no longer sit in at a traditional desk all day so I'm trying to finish my new fully reclining workstation. A wireless keyboard with integrated pointing device is the last piece I need (mice just seem to keep sliding off any surface that sits at 45 degrees :)
 
I can HIGHLY recommend this one: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&cl=us,en

It's the best keyboard I've ever written on, and I've tested my share. However, the little mouse-pad could be annoyingly small for you; in which case a trackball would probably be better if you don't have a separate mouse. Also, the fact that it doesn't have a numpad could be a deal breaker if you rely on that through your work. If not, like me, you'll get used to it, and come to love this keyboard.
 
That is a nice looking keyboard. I don't use the number pad a lot but typically keyboards without them also have a smaller form factor and their keys are crammed too close. That one has full sized keys and looks great. A small touchpad wouldn't bother me if it was responsive enough. The only issue I have with it is that I 'm left handed. I found a couple trackball options I could have went with but the balls were on the right. I could probably adapt to the right handed touchpad if the rest of the keyboard was as solid as you say. Thanks much.
