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

The split keyboard part is incredible for ergonomics. So comfy to just put your hands on my desk at shoulder width and just have my keyboard right there. The trackball I sold, though, came back to a Deathadder... How scary am I?
If I go down that route of ergonomic controls and weird keyboards and such I'm eventually going to build myself this whole HOTAS cockpit with controls at the ends of the armrests, foot pedals, the works. I'll need some bedsore cream.
I feel like this is where the rabbit hole will end up taking me
This is a setup btw, it's not a real plane. https://youtu.be/xRaiCEzDFKA?si=3V6-XwBzyq_DChov
