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

Hey you started out by suggesting something that at one point would have been pretty helpful for me. Maybe you got a bit riled up by some of the responses. Some people are always going to be mean on the Internet.
The original meme made me laugh, I love the idea that such a new take would rile everyone up (even if it didn't really). I imagine you suggest some duplicate keys and mothers are covering kid's ears, old church ladies are fainting, and the young men are wanting to fight. A religious leader gravely denounces the new heresy.
Then the edit to the meme format?! I love it.
That being said, it almost seems like you're blowing it all out of proportion. Rejection sensitivity is common, and easy to feel with online communities.
You're welcome to be here, I like your creativity and out of the box thinking. Maybe cool off, have a laugh, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other creative keyboard ideas you come up with.
