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

Hi guys, I'm looking to switch from a Zoom65 EE to an ergo keyboard. I have a feeling a product with my needs doesn't exist and I'd have to go custom...

  • split kb
  • wireless to PC (wireless between keyboard halves a plus but not necessary)
  • 2.5ghz dongle would be sweet but not necessary
  • switch hotswap
  • led lighting (doesn't have to be per key)
  • variable tenting
  • travel case?

I'm located in the US. My budget can go up to $350.

I do think it satisfies all the desires, but once you add on the optional things (like the wireless and rgb) you’ll actually end up north of $550, so while you’d probably love it, it is likely out of budget.
