I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.

Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?

I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.

I don't think you understand. You are arguing that I should conform to the standard. Right-handed is standard. People made left-handed guitars to accommodate. You say just as much. You agree that left-handed items exist, and you are fighting against my inquiry for what is equivalent to wanting left-handed items.

Why are you pushing against my simple inquiry as if I'm a rival?

You are actually more asking for a special not yet made both handed guitar. Both of the things you want exist, just not together.

They don’t exist because it would lead to incorrect habits or behavior which can be detrimental over time.

They are fighting because you are arguing different arguments than you are requesting. You are attempting to use the as examples, when they just don’t work. Since you aren’t looking for a left handed scissor, you want a custom made scissor so you can use it two handed and with your teeth.

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
