A chord keyboard uses combinations of keys, like chords on a piano.
You have fewer keys so you can type with one hand.
I’m not 100% serious about it, learning curve would be horrendous. But it would be interesting to try. I used blackberry for a long time and I hate screen keyboards.
And yes, looks like I found one while looking for examples :)
It’s $175 on ebay, bit expensive.
(tangent to your question because someone already answered)
I think that courtroom stenographers (people who type up what’s said) use special chording keyboards. I’ve also been to a few events where there has been someone transcribing things in real time for accessibility purposes, and they also use a cool looking chording keyboard. It takes some learning, but the max typing speed is way faster than any conventional keyboard could manage — which is why skilled people use them for transcribing stuff
A brand that I’m aware of that does them is Charachorder.
Aren’t there hundreds? Like this one? Or maybe I don’t know what you mean by “chord” keyboard, or you want more tiny?

There are also machines that type things in braille that I believe use chords. I dated this crazy girl who had one and it was actually really cool.
