Split keyboards and how to build them

The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard supports a trackball or trackpad attached to the right half. The expansion modules just recently became available though so it may be hard to find reviews or people with hands on experience.

They finally released the trackball module? Cool... I'll have to look for some reviews - I'm concerned the actual trackball looks a bit small?

Edit: are you sure they started shipping? the shop page still says under development?

Yeah - they're really seeming like vaporware... :-(

Given how small the trackball is, I'm not sure if I'd prefer the trackball or trackpoint/electric eraser

I used a Texas instruments laptop around 30 years ago which had a tiny clip on track ball like that keyboard

I could have sworn I got an update that they had started shipping them but their site says the ETA is the end of this month.

I have the UHK v1 and waiting to see some reviews for the trackpad and the key modules before I order them
