The touch pad on that keyboard is placed batter then on most laptops.  I
have big hands and on most lap tops with my hands at 'home row' my thumb
rests on the touch pad and causes the mouse pointer to move and click on
stuff.  But I don't have that problem with that keyboard.  I can't say if
you will have a problem with your shirt or not though.

My HTPC is also my main work computer so this keyboard will be my main
