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

Non-excessive ergo mech keyboards? (self.ergomechkeyboards)

Hi all, I'm looking for something similar to my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 to replace it that's mechanical. I'm looking for something with about the same number of Macros, about the same layout, and doesn't have a weird Delete key layout like the Logitech Wave.

Does one exist? Thank you in advance!

X-Bows has some keyboards that look more ergonomic with pinky column stagger and splay but still a full complement of keys in a mostly traditional layout. Disclaimer: I've never used one as I was past that stage when it came out.
