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
This post showed up on my all feed so I don't know much about these keyboards. I have a couple questions
Are they actually comfortable to type on?
Is there a replacement for all the missing keys? I don't see any F keys, navigation keys, or num pad on these boards.
Seems like lots of function is given up to have a cool looking tiny keyboard but maybe they are useful for something I don't know much about.
All those other keys are on different layers. They are comfortable to type on once you get used to them. It's more ergonomic than a traditional keyboard due to the split, Ortho layout, and overall adjustability. I would argue there's more function depending on what keyboard your transitioning from and what you do in your day to day.
Numpad sold separately.
