There's precedent. :)
If I heard correctly, when the inventor went to pitch TrackPoint in a meeting at IBM, he showed up with a normal keyboard, a TrackPoint assembly, and a drill, and proceeded to retrofit a TrackPoint in front of them.
He once spontaneously offered to give me a new TrackPoint SpaceSaver II keyboard (he had a couple retail boxes of them in his office). That happened to be my dream keyboard at the time, so I knew it was $170, which seemed way too expensive a gift for a poor grad student, so I couldn't accept. :)
