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

BUT MY MOUSE SHOULD BE IN BETWEEN THE KEYBOARDS!!1!
Just use the mouse with your foot!
Just create a really huge mouse that you can sit on and control with your butt. You could call it a capybara clicker.
RIP mouse •́ ‿ ,•̀
Such a simple design change but honestly a genius move.
Guy I know uses 2x standard keyboards and it’s the best setup he says he’s used
Both full size, right?
Yeah, it’s an easy setup to replicate on any workstation since there’s always a box of them where ever you go
Got two birds stoned at once.
And what was the problem that you solved exactly?
I believe this is in reference to a post just recently, where OP asked if there was a split keyboard with a duplicate set of keys
It appears a lack of dual single handed keyboards. I’d say it isn’t the strangest problem I’ve seen but that would be a lie
You've got a third in the back. Upgrade that puppy.
add one for each foot for modifier keys, spacebars, etc the possibilities are endless. Double your typing speed instantly
Omg you need to learn to type your middle school typing teacher would be so mad at you, ergomech keyboards are for good boys who type properly 😠😠
why even entertain him, man.
Now the top posts of this sub are related to this infamous shit-fit
I think a nobel prize is coming your way.
Love the heat sync being used as a riser. Improvise, adapt, overcome.
You made my day bro!
