Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Many years ago I had a ThinkPad and I had such a nice workflow using the track point. I had good precision without having to move my hands. Now I've moved to a split keyboard (kinesis freestyle edge currently) but I'm wanting to get something similar back.

What options exist for integrated pointing devices such as trackballs, track points, or touchpads? All I've seen is the UHKB and some 3d printed models.

Another option is the cirque touchpads. I've not tried them but they are popular and people find them usable enough as an actual replacement primary pointing device, which isn't the case with things like the pimoroni trackball, etc.
