This one IS available, although it's a bit pricey!
I believe that green crayon emulation is available, but you'll have to provide the sleazy spacer bar coordinates yourself!

That _is_ interesting. Looks a bit small though, I rather suspect it twists ones elbows inwards quite a bit, like a too-small keyboard. Nice concept for making full use of two hands. I could see delegating one finger to pointer and having some others triggering menus (like middle and right button) and in suitable apps you could use chording quite naturally. Not to mention playing actual chords. The general idea would be a nice replacement for the too-small trackpads on most laptops.
I wonder if it works reasonably for keyboard input? Perhaps for occasional use, like entering a few words in a graphics oriented world. Probably not so good for typing a novel though. Not that I've actually done that. My novels are all written in green crayon in sleazy spacers bars. :-)
