Hello Martin,

I have seen such keyboards before, but I don't want to leave my concave lenovo trackpoint.
This way the switch between keyboard is very small.

I have not seen ergonomic keyboards with a trackpoint yet.

But even with a ergonomic keyboards with a trackpoint there are a lot of
small places where ergonmic work with ubuntu could be improved.
