Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

MODERATORS
The keycaps are a part of this keyboard's cost (Keebio prices a similar set that comes with Cepstrum at $52), though it's not easy to find choc-spaced keycaps for cheap unless you 3d-print them.
The primary drivers for the cost are likely the R&D work behind the keyboard and that it's a keywell (with more complicated assembly process).
Perhaps you could get a used one - IIRC there was a channel on MoErgo's discord.
If you mean the thing for strafing, there was a QMK pull request, though this is now being hastily banned from just about every competitive game. If you mean hall effect switches, I'm not aware of any keywell keyboards with them - there's just a single 58-key (Lucca 58-HE) as far as column-staggered boards go.
