Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Top is Das Pro 4, bottom is ErgoDox EZ
Love the customization and quickly learning to love the split keyboard. The non-staggered keys are going to take me a long time to get used to. I'm struggling with the bottom row and outer-edge keys the most.
Still happy with it but it's going to be a while before I can use it at work or for anything useful.
Edit*** Already doing a lot better! To be fair, this was an easier sentence...
26 WPM on first day is pretty solid.
I dropped from 70 to 15 when starting with an Ergodox and it took me about 10 days to get back to 60+
(And then I decided to switch to Colemak layout which is much harder than Row stagger -> column stagger I’d say)
