My split keyboard solution below. much healthier/comfier hand width/orientation, and ability to walk around the office relatively easily. all off the shelf parts. As many have said, better is having a screen at eye level and keyboard not attached, but this is great when writing in the garden.

Interesting. Is the keyboard custom made, and any link to instructions? Also, how do you create the clamp and be sure it is of the right strength but not too much?

The keyboard is an open source one called the hillside [1]. It has a niche little thing called a puck on the bottom of it that allows standard 1/4” thread mounting to many tripods/camera accessories [2]. The clamp is off of Amazon and has rubber so that it won’t damage a computer, it is very strong and not easy to alter. [3]
