The Kings Assembly looks like an cool idea by a company called Solid Art Labs combining the keyboard, mouse and joystick in one (well technically two, one for each hand) device. Its made its Goal and has met all the "Sreach goals" except one. You can get a full set for 200 bucks, or two for 350 (one pre-production and one from the regular production batch)
Its worth a look, as of posting 03/18/2014 it has 23 days to go

Some quick specs from the Kickstarter page:
Mouse- Whole device is a mouse
Keyboard
30 keys for fingers of each hand
Finger key rows angled for fast access
- QWERTY layout by default for typing
- DVORAK and other layouts available with the click of a button
- Fully customizable with memory to save custom configurations
All keys use Cherry ML mechanical keyboard switches (we are investigating using Cherry MX switches - see comments)
They have awesome tactile feedback and they're virtually silent
Custom keycaps small enough to put all 35 within reach, but big enough and contoured to speed-type
No limit to the number of keys that can be held down simultaneously except that of the USB specification and operating system, because every key in the King's Assembly has its own dedicated input into the microcontroller chip, unlike other keyboards that use a matrix
5 keys for each thumb
2-axis analog joystick for each thumb
- See Update #2 for improved thumb component positioning
Both the vertical and horizontal mouse scroll wheels can be controlled by the thumb joystick(s)
By default, the right device's joystick is in scroll-wheel mode
When in scroll-wheel mode, the joystick uses an acceleration algorithm such that the further you pull the joystick in one direction, the faster the mouse scroll wheel scrolls in that direction, allowing you to zoom around web pages, documents, spreadsheets, and engineering designs with ease, accuracy, and speed.
