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

I don't know anything about mech keyboards, but this showed up on my front page and it looks so cool. I have no use for one but I sort of want one now lol
Be warned! That's how they get you... pretty flashy things that cost waaaaay to much money. You tell yourself you couldn't possibly justify spending that much on a keyboard. Maybe you'll just try an entry level mechanical keyboard. But what case? What Switches? WHAT CAPS!?! You get a Keychron or something tons of people recommend and at first it's amazing, unlike anything you've ever typed on. But then you see something NEW that has a feature you want to try or maybe a group buy Keycap set from your favorite franchise that just looks awesome (I'm looking at you Black speech of Mordor keycaps) ! The next thing you know you have an IKEA Billy bookcase displaying your collection and a $365 keeb is just another Tuesday.
Ergos can be actually relatively cheap. That's why I've spent god-knows how much and have like 30 of them.
This here is the BEST synopsis of this hobby
What Impossibility Box said is 100% true. But also I only got into keyboards because I had wrist pain, and the Moonlander took my pain away. And then I got swept up into the hobby. 😁
