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 Spam

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.

I’ve heard mechcatnical keyboards make the best noise.

One more reason for me to invest in an ergo mech keyboard.

Dude, there's a mountain lion in your house.

This is the correct peripheral to keep between your splits.

How do you like the pinky stagger? ( I think that's what it's called). I'm modding a 42 key board to have a similar layout (I find moving the pinky up forces me to move my whole hand)

I like it a lot. I practiced with the layout on a Lily58 and Corne, just subtract switches. It’s very comfortable.
