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

Would also like to know, I've been considering getting the platforms for mine.
I think it's a big help. I like being able to get my boards steeper, and it's also quicker to get setup the way I like compared to leveling out the legs and thumb clusters. The down side is, it's kinda crazy heavy, haha. It's solid plates of metal after all. They can make a little bit of noise with how the hing is assembled, but I haven't had much trouble with that.
There are other methods for tenting the moonlander, but I don't think anything can beat the ease of use or how compact the platform is, even if they're lighter.
