I'm not a fan of UHK's layout (or its name), but having the ability to add a trackpoint/touchpad module to the keyboard sounds like a killer feature.

I honestly don't understand why only laptop keyboards can have nice pointing devices that let you keep your hands on the keyboard.

Lenovo offers an external version of their keyboard :)

That's the wired version.

The new Bluetooth version (model 4Y40X49493) is more versatile (though make sure you get the "Keyboard II" rather than the previous model).

It's nice, but I prefer the older version that has a built-in palmrest: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/migr-73183

That's much more relaxing to use in my lap.

Are there any still-manufactured laptop-like keyboards that have either a built-in stick or trackpad, positioned like a laptop rather than off to the side, with mouse buttons and a palmrest?

I've been using the v1 Bluetooth keyboard as my daily driver for almost 2 years. Solid construction and very portable, but lately I've been plagued with frequent disconnects and input lag. Has anyone had experience with the v2 on Linux?

Thanks. I had one of those.

My problem with it was that it wasn't as convenient as a good ergonomic keyboard.
