Two Mice Technique
I’ve use a mouse to the right and a Magic Trackpad to the left for years. They, along with an ergonomic keyboard[1] help with wrist pain a lot.

Split Keyboards Gallery
You can also build a PCB (or two) pretty easily. That’s what I did when I built my keyboard. You can find the source here: https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a

A Very Detailed Guide on Split Keyboards and How to Build Them
There's the Cloud Nine C989 [1] (though I don't know how the mechanism to keep the two halves attached works), or for a DIY option there's the NEK Type A [2].
For the profile of the keys themselves, you can make small changes to an existing keyboard by changing the keycaps -- although it's not always easy to find all the sizes required for an unusual keyboard. See [3]. I have SA keycaps on an otherwise-flat keyboard.

Flux Keyboard
I feel like you're out of the loop when it comes to keyboard nerds. Check out the dactyl-manuform [0]. The days of tiny 40/60 keyboards are gone, they aren't cool anymore (joking of course, use what you want).

Dactyl Manuform with Amoeba King PCBs -- Keypresses not detected
I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

After over a year of fiddling about she is almost complete..
that's not entirely accurate. It is a derivation of the dactyl-manuform. I used the generator from this project to produce the case. https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard The earliest biuld of the dactyl-manuform that I can find is: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

Dactyl Manuform Licensing for sale
I have been considering making a few Dactyl Manuform's to sell, but I'm not clear on the licensing involved. The github page lists two licenses, one for the source code, for generating the models which does appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub) and one for the generated models themselves, which does not appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE-models at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub).

keyboard for wrist pain?
If you are willing to spend some money, a dactyl manuform would be very nice, especially with custom wrist rests. The dactyl are modular and 3d printable, and a lot of people actually make them with trackballs in them, so you wouldn’t need to worry about an ergonomic mouse. Failing that; something like a moonlander might also be a good option.
