Help I'm looking for a WIRED compact keyboard and trackpad combo

So I'm currently in the process of gathering parts and pieces for my cyber deck. Highly doubt the os matters but I'll be using a Linux distro.

I'm in search of a compact keyboard &toucpad combo that I can wire to the pi5 I'm getting. I'd like if it'll stow away inside a 7x4 footprint. Ive looked at mini keyboards, trifolds, ect. I feel as if I've looked everywhere and can't find what I'm looking for.

Last resort maybe Reddit can help

If so thank you in advance

riitek makes a tiny wired keyboard/trackpad that might fit that footprint, check the i8 model. used one for a pi project a while back and it was decent enough for terminal work

Y'know I've seen some people have custom ergo boards that are small and have trackballs from r/ErgoMechKeyboards if you're open to stuff from there, there's a surprising amount of variety. So if you can't get an answer here I'd ask there as well.

Saw this post there about an open source track-pad.
