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

MODERATORS
I feel like the majority were fairly supportive and the people who said you're probably going to continue with arguably bad habits were met with quite sudden hostility from you.
It's a fair opinion to state that while your idea has merit, there are reasons we have certain accepted keyboard layouts, and maybe learning to tidy up your typing habits would be beneficial in the long run.
I scrolled through every comment and not much of it seemed very hostile, just the ones where you came back at them quite aggressively.
You asked a fair question, and all the direct replies were reasonably fair also, it just devolved into an argument later (in my view).
Hostility? I never had anger in my posts.
Please read my messages with positive frame of mind. I am not trying to fight.
Can I not make a joke about people being mean to me?
I'm memeing about the few people being rude. You are taking it personally instead of laughing at the stupid little situation that happened.
In the end, I'm still being harassed. I'm not interested in this anymore.
Definitely a good time to stop posting about it then.
