Yes, they're alive and well. The Twiddler (gotta love the name) is probably
the best known, as they've been written up a few times as the keyboard of
choice
for the people at MIT developing wearable computing gear. See
www.handykey.com
for more info. Other one-handed chording keyboards
available include CyKey from Bellaire Electronics (www.bellaire.demon.co.uk),
the
MonoManus from ElmEntry Enterprises (www.hankes.com/eee/index.htm) and the
Bat Personal Keyboard (www.infogrip.com). Prices for these are typically
in the $150 - $200 U.S. range.
With practice, people using one handed chording keyboards can usually get
typing speeds approaching 60 wpm, which is about the low-end of professional
touch-typing speeds on QWERTY boards.
