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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

I was using some laptop stands/risers to test out whether I was interested in tenting my board or not and really really liked it so I went ahead with the magfrotto approach. I replaced the manfrotto tripods with these z-stands for the more possible angles and also because they're wayyy cheaper (20$ a piece).

Thanks to the person who came up with this idea. It's super solid, the keyboard doesn't move at all with the magsafe stickers. Highly recommended.

E: after many attempts I have successfully embedded image in post lol

Niiice! Could you please post links to the tenting equipment you're using?

Sure thing!

Magnetic pucks (make sure to select the MG-01, not MG-08, those are tiny little things)

Magsafe stickers. Im currently using ones that came with the pucks but I was told those aren't great and I bought extras anyway.

Z mount. There are a bunch of these around. These ones are plastic but Neweer has aluminium ones if that tickles your fancy.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have more questions
