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 might just end up doing this, lol. I've switched to Ortho before, so it'll just be the split I'm getting used to. Thanks!
That shouldn't be any noticeable change, just slightly more comfortable for your wrists. If you don't like it you can move the halves closer to each other to make it more similar to non-split ortho. IMO the only disadvantage with split is that the keyboard might get a little bit more difficult to transport, if that's something you need to do.
