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 believe I've seen one before on the site that shall not be named, but I can't remember which one off the top of my head. IIRC it was a handwired board, or was it something that used a corne pcb on either side? Crap I can't even remember now. I'll look into it and give you a reply if I can mange to find it again
The Kinesis Advantage2 (and earlier Kinesis Advantage/Contoured models) have 20 degree tenting built-in. Also the usual ergo features (column stagger, thumb keys) and key wells.
closest I know are still row staggered
- full size – KBDfans Mountain Ergo and gok’s Type K (still in IC)
- 40% – Libra Mini (the board with a joystick) and Sonatina’s Cisne
beyond that, are things like custom cases for existing boards – tented Sofle case
