After all the minimalist splits, Alaa Saad Mansour aka AlSaMoMo is back with Wizza, a feature-rich split with trackballs, displays, extreme tenting, and a lot more.

Features

• 30 keys
• Dual trackball
• Per-key RGB
• Underglow
• Tenting puck support
• Haptic feedback
• Dedicated mouse buttons (Kailh silent mouse buttons)
• 5 way switch
• TFT/LCD screen on both sides

The Neewer Z stands are also back after Quentin's tenting system, however, this time without magnets:

I have been [using] this solution for quite a while on other boards as well. I can definitely recommend it. It's super stable and the Z tripods I have also have anti slip pads in them so it works on slippery surfaces as well – AlSaMoMo.
