I picked up a Kinesis Advantage360 Pro the other day but was struggling with what to do with my trackpad.

Way back in 2012 or so I stuck an original Magic Trackpad to my first Advantage2 between the key wells and thus it's been for more than a decade, but that doesn't work with an actual split keyboard.

Piecing together a few ideas I found on Reddit, I picked up a MagSafe-compatible phone stand and a steel ring sticker. Apply sticker to back of trackpad, magnet it to the phone stand, ✨ ergonomics ✨.

We'll see how long it lasts wrt tension in the stand's joints. Hard to say if it's super stiff just because it's cold.

Apple Magic Trackpad 2 perched atop a MagSafe phone stand. Overhead view of a desk. At the far side, from the left, a bamboo pen organizer, a coffee cup, a water bottle, and a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID because I can't be bothered to type my password a thousand times a day. On the near side, a Kinesis Advantage360 split keyboard. Between two halves is a Magic Trackpad perched on a phone stand, nearer to the right half of the keyboard than the left.
