It's a shame that the images were lost after geekhack.org was hacked, but the most compelling solution I saw was the mod to add a trackpoint:

When I first got my Kinesis Advantage, I secured the Adesso Smart Cat trackpad to the middle:

It's what the other Kinesis users around me were using and it's the only wired touchpad that could fit. It's a piece of garbage and I've given up on it. I've fallen back on using my Evoluent Vertical Mouse, as it's the only mouse that doesn't leave me in pain.

The real answer is that I've adapted my tools and workflow to be as keyboard operational as possible, using a tiling window manager, Emacs, and Conkeror for everything.
