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

hi, i finally want to have a split ergo keyboard - it's time. i have no nerves for soldering or searching the parts together piece by piece, i am more the buyer than the builder. the zsa moonlander seemed to fit my wishes very well so far - but the shop based in us/taiwan is quite a problem. not only the customs and what if i really want to return it (not planned, but you never know) - but only getting additional parts like the platforms would rise the final price higher than my budget probably.

are there alternatives shipping from europe? props to zsa team, still, i really like the spirit...

As others pointed out, the Dygma Defy might be an option when it’s finally available: https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy

Alternatively, you could look for used ones, but this has the Return (and the parts) issue as well.

I suspect there will be other people like me who probably sell their Moonlander when the Defy is available.

Is there any word on when the defy will be available?

It was pushed back to September but there might be an additional delay. Check out Dygma‘s YouTube channel, they are pretty transparent about updates on their process.
