Promising! but as Christopher mentioned, "This item is Discontinued".

I had luck searching for another 56 key keyboard ("50%"?): USD $23.73

The X/Y dimensions are very similar, though it's 60% heavier and 5mm thicker.
Dimensions: 6.69 in x 2.91 in x 0.79 in (170 x 74 x 20 mm)
Weight: 6.53 oz (185g)

I think I'd miss the dedicated arrow keys.
I'd like it even more if it had an integrated trackball or trackpoint,
which I guess requires a USB hub device/emulation as well?:
