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?

Fellow Moonlander + Corne user here. Once I accepted that I was never realistically going to take my Moonlander on the go, I sprang for the Platform kit. It's a huge improvement over the stock tenting legs.

Column stagger and ortholinear keyboards are an ergonomic wonder. Everyone's hands are different of course, but I find them really comfortable.

Another big plus for ZSA products is their software. The graphical configurator is really powerful and nice to use. It adds a lot of features on top of what's natively available in QMK. I've only manually tweaked my firmware once, and that was for a particularly niche and convoluted use case.
