Alienware Wired keyboard with touchpad

General question: I’m looking at Alienware wired keyboards, but I will need one with a fairly sized touchpad. Do Dell sell these or should I contact Customer Support first? 
Thanks.

    With such a unique requirement, I suggest you purchase the keyboard or (stand-alone) touch-pad that you like and place a small Alienware sticker on it.

    Thank you. Will one of these UK keyboards be compatible with the Alienware I’m researching/have in mind.

    Thank you for the information. Where would I buy a compatible stand-alone touchpad please?

    Which full size AW keyboard for UK would you suggest? I have a Backlit one in mind. 

    Thank you.

    Yes, any wired keyboard that is USB will work just fine. I would stick with name brand keyboards like Logitech etc...

    1. There are several on Amazon. I suggest you stick to the popular brands like Logitech, Razor, etc.

    2. I really like this one. I got in for $100 usd last year. I have a feeling it got discontinued finally, so maybe the comparable Logitech replacement is viable.

    If you get a keyboard and touch-pad from the same company (and they are both a recent product generation) they can often both be controlled by their one Unified Software Config App.
