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

MODERATORS
Ok here is a slightly tangential answer to my own post.
Wacom Intuos Small
It's a bit on the large side at 20cm x 16cm but it has bluetooth and supports Windows, Mac and ChromeOS, and can be used as a pointing device with advanced gestures.
That's 4cm wider and deeper than the magic trackpad with probably the same active area (the outside edges of the Intuos aren't touch sensitive) but it is almost half the price of the magic trackpad and fully supported on other operating systems.
I'm kind of tempted but it is kind of huge.
