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
My guy, I'm supportive of your idea and search for a keyboard with those extra keys. It's just... you've been and are still being super defensive about it, and definitely blowing it way out of proportion.
Yes, I agree, you shouldn't have to learn to touch type perfectly to get into split keyboards. No, the people telling you to chill out a bit aren't the same people that are telling you to learn how to touch type.
You're being critical of a community that is mostly supportive, just because of a minority of elitists.
As you can see, a lot of us disagree with your actions so far, yet we're still being nice about it. Again, the people telling you to chillax are still supportive of your search for your split keyboard.
Stop replying to every comment that even so slightly misaligns with your own opinion of the community. Stop painting proper feedback as villainous enablers of the elitist few.
Just chillax, take what you want from the comments, thank the supportive ones, and move on.
