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

Sorry, first ever post to kbin. I'd like to replace my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've used this keyboard for like 15 years, buying a new one every few years or so.
Can anyone recommend something to start with? I am so overwhelmed by ergo-mechs. My reason is my hands hurt, and it seems like y'all have found a better keyboard. Thank you so much, apologies again, this is my first post so obvs I don't know what I'm doing.
