I have this:
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=517&EID=13373&txtModelID=3904

It does everything you want, and works well.  It's got mouse control
(including simulated three buttons), laser pointer, jog wheel, even
Multimedia control.

I think I loaned it to you at one point.  I certainly brought it to
presentations.
