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 was temped to get one for my office, but after looking at it - It's kind of meh.
Because of the reduced price, you have to get a lot of useless junk options and accessories, which are unnecessary and wasteful, to reach the minimum in order to be eligible for the case (and a cow died). If there were keys and caps in your shop, one could buy them and go with the cheaper board options, but thats not the case.
By that time you're spending 300$ and not even getting a functional keyboard lol
No thanks, I got my keyboardio for around the same price, with a nicer thumb cluster layout, a non-square carrying case (no cows had to die for it either) and it was assembled with keys and caps!
I mean, the fucking dumang-dk6-ergo-v2 costed just under 400$ and is an insanely cool and COMPLETELY customizable keyboard (with fucking switches and keycaps lol) and yes I already have one and it works way better than I expected.
Sorry for the rant - tldr everything else seems like a better value than what your shop offers.
