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

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

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

Dude, take it as a learning experience. You can't tell a troll to stop - so best don't engage.

I had to learn the same thing many years ago: I asked for an option to exit-on-close for steam. Some trolls didn't like the idea of a more customisable software and i foolishly argued my point. AFAIK this option still does not exist. Maybe the devs never saw that forum thread bc there was too much bs.
