Hook 2 USB keyboards - one for a whole hand, the other for a broken one, wind it up as you like.
And get well soon - summer is still on the nose =)

I would hang up a regular keyboard. As usual, you do not need to get used to the gadget.
Although, I would not advise you to strain your hand once again, find a small keyboard so that you can type at a tolerable speed ...

I have a friend at work who is an amateur athlete. He seems to be fond of tennis ...
So, he is right-handed in life, but in the section he was told that it was better not to strain his arm additionally, so at work he sharpened the mouse on his left hand ... It was insanely dreary to set up some kind of software thread for him, but after about five minutes you get used to it ...
So what's the advice - try to temporarily load the mouse on the left? As an option - if you find it, then the Asus EEE Stick is like a wireless joystick, but the tilts move the mouse cursor ...

As well as once broken, it depends where the fracture is :)
Perhaps later you will be without a bandage. In the meantime, if it's not at all in mogota, then look at the wireless keyboards from MS .
They are very small. If you make rings out of electrical tape, then you can really wear it like a dupe.
You will be like a ninja on two keyboards at once to print: P

Few people know, but apart from the "usual" Dvorak layout. There are layouts for the right and left hands separately.
There, all the letters are located on one side of the keyboard, so you can freely type with one hand.
Here, for example, "right-handed" Dvorak: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File :KB_Dvorak_Right.svg
If the left hand plans to be in a sling for a long time, it might make sense to learn this layout.
