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

Glove 80.
If this is how you work you should extend your budget.
I had trouble justifying the cost of my Glove80 when my MS Natural broke, but I love it so far! It's literally the tool of my trade and I use it every day, so from that perspective the cost is well worth it.
Is it that much better than a tented Iris from Keebio, $400 and I can't even put in my preferred switch Boba U4Ts is pretty steep
I don't personally have it, but looking at the issue I think a concave well is the best ergonomics. It even has different heights for different fingers.
