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

MODERATORS
Are you ok with a split keyboard?
If yes then the Glove80 might fit, although it's not completely silent.
Silent low pro switches are supposed to come out in a few months, but you'll probably have to solder those onto the keyboard.
Ok - that just looks weird. And I'm into that. But I would need to try it out first. Do you know anywhere I can do that?
Sadly with most split ergo boards it's such a niche product that you can't really try them out anywhere.
I know there are keyboard enthusiasts events in some places of the world, which might have one.
I'd suggest checking out MoErgo's (Glove80 creators) Discord
Might find a way to try one there
