Because other people want small keyboards, I'd imagine.

If I want a small keyboard I want it with a built in pointing device, and those are hard to find. Lenovo trackpoint keyboard is one of the few I can think of.

Thanks to those who responded. The Tex keyboard looks nice but it is $300! I had seen the Logitech 400 before, but forgot about it because it is wireless and I'm old-fashioned enough to want to still use USB keyboards, to not broadcast passwords and that sort of thing. I should have been more specific though. Those clip-on accessory trackpoints etc do look nice and I didn't know about them.

The Logitech K400 (sold as a smart TV keyboard mainly) is pretty well known, and they have a bunch of other keyboards with touchpad.

Yeah it's great (I have 5 of them) for remote keyboard for netflix with bigscreen, or for raspberry pi where you can just plug in one USB thing and have keyboard/mouse, but I don't think many people would cope with it for ongoing use.
