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

What's a good and cheap tenting solution for split keyboards? I currently use rubber stands but I can't get the angle high enough for my liking.

I found they worked merely okay. Maybe I just didn't have them positioned correctly but it was a little tippy. This was on a lily58, so the size may have made good balancing a bit tougher.

Either way, I switched them out for the magfrotto tenting, which works super duper well

Yeah, they are tippy.

I got mine perfectly balanced now tho, but with a lot of adjusting.

Oh okay nice! I'm glad to hear it! I had the decently balanced but thumb keys would tip it a bit. So I just decided to upgrade so I wouldn't have to deal with it.

Plus the new setup is modular so when I assemble my next keyboard all I need to do is add magsafe stickers
