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

It’s affordable (by ergo keeb standards) and it has all the features. split, orthlinear, thumb keys.

I like it a lot but it was quite an adjustment to learn to use it

What kind of layout do you use? What type of stuff do you do on this PC/keeb?

Pretty sweet! What's that little device with the bluelight on the left?

[–] blawb 2 points 1 year ago

It's 2.4g dongle, ergolite is fully wireless, but need to plug 2.4g dongle.

How do you manage num pad?

[–] blawb 1 points 1 year ago

It supports QMK, and it has 4 layers. QMK layers are like different keyboard layouts, you can switch between them. It's like having multiple keyboards in one.
