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

My introduction to ergo keyboards was not nice. Consider being kinder to newbies please. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

There are keyboards with extra middle keys (Kinesis Advantage360 comes to mind), but if you're typing wrong, there's no way to soften that blow. Asking people is precisely for the cases when the question makes little sense and should be reframed in a discussion. If you don't want to hear what you actually need, just Google without asking people.
