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

When i saw that thread yesterday 90% of the comments were shitting on OP
[Edit] I thought split keyboard were neat but never considered them for the same reason as the guy posting. I popped into the thread to see if anyone had some suggestions for OP and in turn, me.
I walked away yesterday thinking "wow the ergo community is full of elitest douchebags"
I'm not saying you're all jerks...but that was my outsider perspective yesterday. Needlessly dog piling on the guy. No shit he got defensive - he was under attack
It kind of made me want to upload a video of me typing with 5 fingers to really piss off the touch-typing purists.
I cannot imagine piling on someone for occasionally typing a middle key with the "wrong" hand. It doesn't harm anyone in any way.
Jack off jokes aside, I can type remarkably fast with one hand. I feel like anyone who has been PC gaming for years can easily do that.
I have never used a split keyboard but I imagine within a week I'd get frustrated that I "can't" finish a sentence while scratching my nose because the keys I need are too far away
Ten fingers not needed for fast typing
