I mean, I'm interested in buying one - but we really need the security in the processes set up on /r/mechmarket to do it right. Or via one of the Discord communities.

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

Surprised you’re struggling to reach stuff - the stagger on a moonlander is pretty subtle.
Have you tried angling them inwards relative to your desk?
The subtleness is what makes reaching hard. Top pinky is basically unreachable without moving your entire hand and/or wrist.
