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

Hello all:

I am in need of some advice. I am a consultant for a living and spend my days writing reports. When I am at home, I am using an Advantage 360 Pro which I absolutely love; when I travel to meet with clients though, I use my corporate Mac... which has less than stellar ergonomics.

The 360 is too big and bulky for me to travel with (I know some do), but I use forearm crutches and need to carry everything in a backpack. Weight and overall size are an important consideration.

I was looking at the Glove80, and the Corne-ish Zen but then I saw the new ZSA Voyager...

I also thought about something like a Skeletyl, huge fan of the Dactyls - and the work over at BastardKB; I love minimalist layouts but I also live in Canada; the 360 with exchange and duty when I ordered in on Drop cost me ~$750CDN.

I wish keyboards were more affordable but hey...

Thoughts?

Glove80 will have a case made for it very soon. Might want to take that into account.
The case compared to the Advantage360

Where would I get a case for th G80?

[–] ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At their site once it's out.
They also have a Discord where they give updates and answer questions.

I don't have a discord. My phone number is "not compatible" of whatever. I'm assuming it's because my provider virtualizes its numbers, and I don't think that discord allows virtual numbers. Oh well. I'll keep checking the site.

Ah that's unfortunate.
I wish the default wasn't Discord but it seems like what most do these days.
But I've heard they're also quite responsive over email if you have any questions.

I can probably send a request through the supporter's portal, but I don't want to bombard them over a case, you know?

[–] ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a page about it now, and there's an option to be notified once it's out
