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

Might want to give Glove80 a look. And since it sounds like you prefer light switches like me, there's a version with pro red switches (35g).
Maybe also hop in to MoErgo's Discord and get some ideas there.
I started with a Ferris Sweep (34 keys), and while I loved a lot of things about it, those weren't enough keys for me, I had to compromise too much + I realized a wireless split would be much more comfortable to me than a wired one.
Although I like having the option to use it wired.
Yeah, the one type of keyboard I haven't tried yet is a dactyl-style curved one. The Glove80 has definitely caught my attention.
