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'd love to have one of these but they're not made anymore. Anyone still making / selling them?

This was a poor post on my part. I was looking for a vendor that might still be selling these (not for a private trade like mechmarket). Was also curious about alternatives to the Gergoplex since it's not longer in production AFAIK. The thumb cluster on it is really unique, so while I know there are similar sizes boards out there I was really looking specifically for this board.

Ah, then disregard. Poorly worded as you say, but okay.

Anyway other than the open source promicro-based homage that broom made (as linked by @hazel@keeb.lol). Germ is no longer around in the community/Internet so it's not being made or sold anymore, indeed. It was a closed design so the only hope would be for a clone or something similar.
