IANAG have a guide to removing Gator and related adware from your PC. Tons of "Free programs" install some variant of this ad serving software on your system to make that developer money.
IceTeks have a little desk modding going on. In this article we install some toggle switches right on the desk to control the fans. The PC is not stuck to the desk since the cable can be disconnected, and the computer's existing switches or fanbus can then control the fans.
Metku tried spraying some sticky stuff on PC input devices, to get more grip. Airsoft enthusiasts have been using similar products to improve grip on their airsoft guns. It should be only natural for this stuff to work on computer input devices too.
