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 have one at work, and it's great. It's a mechanical keyboard, but it's low profile, low travel, and almost silent. I got the one with the low profile brown tactile switches. I highly recommend it.
Thanks! That looks like a great keyboard. How would you compare it to the Logitech K860?
I've never used the Logitech K860, so I don't have any point of comparison.
But on just comparing the specs, I can see the main difference is the Logitech is a membrane keyboard, and the perixx is a mechanical keyboard. If that matters to you (it does for me) then the perixx is the clearly better board.
