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 use quotes much more than colon and semicolon, so I swapped the keys (lemmy.world)

And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

I've been interested in this, but for work I have to use keyboards connected to random computers all the time (and bringing my own keyboard isn't an option either). I suppose I'm stuck with QWERTY. I just can't imagine keeping two keyboard layouts in my muscle memory.
