Slightly off topic has anybody found a small footprint touchpad to keep close by to a split keyboard? Similar to the touchpad on the 'Ultimate Hacking Keyboard

Slightly off topic has anybody found a small footprint touchpad to keep close by to a split keyboard? Similar to the touchpad on the 'Ultimate Hacking Keyboard v2' but standalone without the pogo pins coupling part?

Keymouse have a model with a trackball under each thumb, and a model where each half is a mouse as well as being a keyboard.

Not sure how small you're wanting, but Kinesis sells the Cirque EasyCat AG which is 3.3"x2.6". I've not used it myself, but I do have the Freestyle Pro keyboard, which I absolutely love and is very high quality, so I'd guess the rest of the products are similar. https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/cirque-easycat-ag/ https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/cirque-easycat-ag/

  This definitely fits what I was look for, thank you for the sugestion! I was not familiar with Cirque.

I use an Apple Magic Trackpad 2. Probably not "small", but it fits between the two halves of my Moonlander quite nicely :)

  I also have a UHK and a Magic Trackpad and just keep it between the halves. It enforces proper separation, since without it I tend to default to keeping the halves too close together, and while the modules partially overlap the corners, there's still more than enough usable space.

Not a touchpad, but gutting off-the-shelf trackballs to populate custom casings is a popular option, e.g. this mod for ZSA Moonlander boards: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/wp1db9/moonlander_with_trackball_mod/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/wp1db9/m...

I just put the mouse in the very middle :) That thought felt weird in the beginning, but trust me: it works.

Yeah the community loves using the cirque trackpads. They come in varying sizes and afaik are also used in the Steam Controller. I personally just built a keyboard with an integrated trackball however. It’s great!
