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

Set up an appointment with an Orthopedic specialist and consider occupational therapy. My wrists started killing me a few years ago and I'm now starting to get things together; took so long because I had kids and was laid off. I just took an MRI and have an appointment next week to figure out the next steps.
With all that being said; I use the Kinesis Freestyle Pro and an external trackpad.
