Check out the "Dactyl-ManuForm": https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard

I’m building this. Care to share more about it? What key map do you use?

I wonder how difficult would be mouse functionality integration to both of them or there was such an attempt before, would be quite interesting to use those with double pointer.

IIRC there was a variation someone made with a small trackball under the thumb. I thought that was an interesting idea. You're talking about having two mice inputs? That's pretty cool.

Yes two mouse inputs, one per hand, if such a tool exist I could definitely try it!

If you're into ergonomics, this one is pretty much the holy grail.
