Ilya Leonov aka lemosbor posted his Lapa, a pretty interesting split keyboard-mouse with built-in mouse sensors.
Lapa (Лапа) means paw in Russian, which refers to tha fact that you use this keyboard "without moving the hands" – at least not raising, hovering and reaching for the mouse all the time.
This approach is pretty rare but not unique, the Mouseky and the Keymouse reflect similar concepts.
Features
36 keys
The wrist-rest is part of the keyboard and is located higher than the main row keys.
Built-in mouse sensor
The thumb keys are located on a separate part of the case, much higher than other keys.
Keywell with per-column arcs.
The surface of the lowest key is at a distance of 2 cm from the table.
In addition, the oak pad for resting the wrist is replaceable, the halves are connected by a Russian connector type (РШ2Н-1-6) and they snap together by magnets for transport.
