ErgoMechKeyboards
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

🤯 so you use this, how?
I have been using this setup for about 2 years now. I'm a touch typer and I used completely blank keycaps for a while so the keycaps are really just for looks and feels these days.
That's impressive. I always have to glance down occasionally because I feel like I would never be able to quickly find lesser used keys without a label, such as F9 or something

You caught me
That's really cool, thanks for sharing
My last 2 keyboards were DAS brand black ones.
Well, that phrasing makes it sound like my 2 previous ones. I'm still using the 2nd one.
