I had explored these during college, believing I would see an increase in productivity given keeping one hand on keyboard and one on mouse at all times.
Personally it was quite difficult to adjust and I ended up abandoning the project. But I found the keyboard well made and well laid out.
It takes a good while to get used to the frogpad like devices. If you're still interesting in the idea, there are a couple of other devices you could give a try.
I don't have any experience with the half-qwerty keyboard, but the concept seemed interesting, and maybe more up your alley. However, I know of many people who swear by the Twiddler design. I can't recall if it was that same device or another that looked very similar, but a guy I met was capable of typing around 70 WPM with it.
One of my college professors used a wearable computer and thus the twiddler keyboard. It is quite interesting and it may be something I explore - thanks for reminding me!

(Unless you actually only have one hand, of course.)
