What's everyone's thoughts on split or tented keyboards? (beehaw.org)

Looking for some testimonials on these setups as I'm due for a keyboard upgrade. I like the thought of spreading my arms a bit more and the external wrist rotation from the tenting. Any suggestions?

I built myself an Iris (v6 iirc) and I love it to pieces. I painted mine rainbow!

I also have an Iris! I haven’t tented mine and am trying to decide if I want to.

I’ve found it works fine for games, I usually just shove the right side of my keyboard out of the way for more mouse space, and just have a few extra mouse buttons to make up for not having the right side of the keyboard.

I set mine up with rotary encoders that give me up/down/left/right, so I don't have to take my hands off my keyboard to move around within an open file.

I haven't tented mine either, but have tossed around the idea a little bit.
