A new keyboard with touchscreen, like AJAZZ AKP815, LCD placed on the right， whether placed in the middle？
1, it conforms to the ergonomic keyboard.
2, Blind typing
3, Muscle memory
4，Customize any virtual keystrokes you want

sorry, this is AKP815,

This thread is a head-scratcher. Why do you need a touch screen? Why not a macropad? This feels like a pretty standard split layout with a macro in the middle column

It's not a macro keyboard, it's more like a APPLE touchbar.
Rectangular touch bar

The akp815 is a macrokey keyboard. The picture in the previous post is misleading.
Actually, I mean, smartkeyboard something like a TouchBar.
It must does most the functions of a Touchbar. Its improvement is that it has changed from a slender strip at the top to a rectangular touchscreen in the center of the keyboard.
Why here? It is the area where the fingers move the smaller distance, it is easy to form muscle memory, easy to type blindly. Not any more, adjust the field of view back and forth. Too hard.
The Touch Bar is a cool invention. For example, contextually display. It alters what digital buttons and images depending on the open program and the task at hand. That's smart. Now that AI technology is easy to implement.
The picture is a sample Emcs or Vim editor, cursor movement. You can do more, entering unicode symbol, emulating an IBM red dot mouse, sketching, handwriting recognition, timeline and knob manipulation.
The hardware only about 50~100 US$. It just requires an MCU, USB knowledge, touchscreen. Any Keyboard Layout.
Is anyone else interested in it?

I think personally I would have trouble with it in the middle, since I cross over when typing, but the one on the right is interesting or maybe one with the lcd between the alphas and the numbers.

I have also considered the location between the alphas and the numbers. There are reviews that on the right side makes it difficult to operate with the left hand. Right hand, sometimes, which conflicts with the mouse. (See Thinkbook PLUS 17)
For example, when you use Adobe PS, touch various shortcut keys on the LCD with your left hand, and operate the mouse with your right hand simultaneously.(These shortcut icons are related to your current PS toolbar. The Final Cut Pro of MacBook Pro Touchbar has been optimized)
In addition to cross, there is other issue ，the split keyboard. How many people are willing to adapt to this kind of layout?
The middle screen may be a reason. Improve efficiency.
Middle is a compromise.

If you want to be super ergonomic i rather go with a split corne and adjust my typing style

OK, thanks a lot. The location is just first step. It needs more critical professional guidance. There are all kinds of previous ideas，full transparent Flux，Stream deck，touchbar and so on. Split, Alice layout is also concern. Right side will be tested.
Especially "contextually" in the future, (https://www.pcworld.com/article/410854/razers-radical-switchblade-ui-was-apples-touch-bar-before-apples-touch-bar.html). The value of the keyboard depends on the feature.
