ErgoMechKeyboards
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

Depending on what region you're in, there's probably gonna be some folks selling cool ergomech kits. I'm personally in the EU, can recommend (https://keeb.supply/)[keeb.supply], (https://keycapsss.com/)[Keycapsss], (https://42keebs.eu/)[42keebs], (https://splitkb.com/)[splitkb.com], (https://keygem.com/)[Keygem], ...
I'm probably forgetting some, and these are only the EU-based ones. Maybe someone else xoukd recommend vendors in other regions :)
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm in Taiwan...so hopefully there is either cheaper shipping somewhere, or I can figure out the right Chinese for these and search...
I did find a vendor in HK. Close by with shipping covered. Looks like I may start there.
