You think you are joking but in the 90's that was a thing for keyboards.

it had a few hardcore fans, a quick search for RT9450 shows people still trying to get that to work up to about 2020

honestly i wouldn't mind having another scroll wheel/bar on the keyboard somewhere, in the middle above the function keys might be cool
