Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Top is Das Pro 4, bottom is ErgoDox EZ
Love the customization and quickly learning to love the split keyboard. The non-staggered keys are going to take me a long time to get used to. I'm struggling with the bottom row and outer-edge keys the most.
Still happy with it but it's going to be a while before I can use it at work or for anything useful.
Edit*** Already doing a lot better! To be fair, this was an easier sentence...
I'm already doing a lot better, I'm going to take it to work tomorrow. My wpm are in the 60s now, though my accuracy needs some work. I realized I had some bad habits touch typing. I would reach for y with my left hand b with my right.
With Enter being a thumb key I've sent many unfinished typo ridden Discord and Teams messages.
I'm not a programmer, I do a little of everything in the IT world. Most of my typing at work is emails and documentation, but I spend time modifying configs or making/modifying scripts.
