Hiya all. I was wondering what pointing options there were out there for split ergo keyboards? Looking around, on the face of it there seems to be the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and well that’s about it. There seem to be plenty of trackballs at various prices but nothing that looks particularly small and nondescript.

I will give mouse keys a try but I am really not convinced. If I could get my little Chromebook to display RDP colours correctly it may be that having a touchscreen would do just fine as an alternative.

    As separate devices from finished consumer electronics, yes not much demand. What does the solution you have in mind look like though, if not a trackpad and buttons mounted in its own housing?

    If you’re handy with electronics and microcontrollers, you might be able to build what you want using one of these sensors: https://bela.io/products/trill/

      Oh those look like fun. It might be a bit beyond me right now - the combination of everything - but yeah for the future I quite fancy that.
