best mapping for 19-equal in two keyboards?

Anyone?

I was thinking sharing black notes and making the 2 keyboards have
different white notes would be a logical choice, but then I though it
might be better to make the common notes to be members of the set of
fewest accidentals key signatures....

Any thoughts?

It's undoubtedly the most logical, but people seem to
prefer splitting black keys near as I can tell. That gets
you up to 17 notes, on a gamut ranging from Gb to A#. You
then need to add B#/Cb to be between B and C, and E#/Fb to
be between E and F. Hence, you split all the black keys,
and add an extra black key between E and F, and B and C.
I think this would make more sense to keyboardists--any
keyboard players want to comment?

Sorry, I didn't see the subject line. With the two keyboards,
I wonder if you plan to have two players?
