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

I'm currently running an og ergodox right side only for gaming and am looking for something a bit more updated. Is there anything thats a split design that can run right side only, hot swappable switches, and USB-C? Better stabalizer support than the ergodox and backlit would also be a huge plus.

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but check out Azeron. It is simply better in every way and I refuse to go back to gaming on a keyboard.

thanks for the recommendation, that looks very interesting and also intimidating lol. I bet it'd be pretty fast with a bit of practice. One of my goals of using a dedicated gamepad is not having to remap for every game. with the ergodox I have a layout that uses wasd and mirrors all the keys used by most fps/rpgs. this looks like it may require a bit more tinkering.
