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

I Recently found out that my work has a benefit where they give you a couple hundred dollars to improve your health somehow. Gym, massage, Ergo stuff, ect. I want o put it towards an Ergo Mechanical Keyboard.

I have seen LinusTechTip's video on the Moonlander and I think it is for me (love the white, ortho linear, and split). But are there other things you folks would recommend that I check out?

Thank you for your time!

I've been using keyboardio m01 and now m100 for several years and have been very happy. The custom sculpted keycaps are great and really guide your fingers to the right place. There is also lot of support for different plugins for things like sticky keys or macros. The m100 also has hot swappable mx switches so if you want really fancy ones it's very easy to change.
