I obtained a Charybdis [0] last month - the trackball is right at your thumb. My hands virtually never leave the keyboard. Honestly I'm still trying to get my WPM back up to where it used to be, and my homerow mods are occasionally misfiring, but on the whole it's been a positive experience.

Damn, that's pretty close to my dream keyboard right there, thanks! Though Ideally I'd prefer something like a clit mouse near the home row, with 3 click buttons on their own row under the modifier row. With the Atreus design which is what I'm using currently.

Switched to a split ortholinear keyboard to force myself to relearn typing with touch, because I had this crazy ad hoc 5 finger system that was typing at up to 110wpm, but really messing with my nerves. Back up to 100+ WPM and my wrists are much happier.

Keep at it, you'll be flying again in no time.
