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

When you have a letter to deliver and you really need to shift.

Just don't use it in the office if you have clicky switches.

Is that a shoe that looks like a keyboard or a keyboard that looks like a shoe?

Ergonomic? Maybe

Accessible? Well, when you need to be able to do yoga-aasanas just to get it in view; you tell me

Reminds me of Reef sandals, at least some of which have bottle openers on the sole.

Using them for that purpose seems ... Ill advised.
