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 feel like this was a long overdue upgrade. I've been making printed rests to match my cases forever, but the hard print wasn't the most comfortable. (And I can't stand the look of those jellybean Amazon rests.)

So, I started fitting them with custom-cut foam pads. Big improvement!

This is really nice. In the past I’ve literally just cut up 1” foam knee pads I had leftover from a whitewater canoe mod and duct taped them to the bottom of my dactyl. It actually felt fantastic. Recently I upgraded to a Charybdis with rests that are 3d printed using TPE. It’s pretty good, but I kinda miss the feel of some firm foam.
