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

ZSA Voyager with Nocturnal switches (feddit.org)

The Nocturnal Ambient switches are insanely quiet. I am typing at normal speed now that I moved the keys up one row so that it matches my Planck. A much more familiar layout, a much softer approach to typing, I still miss the tactile bump feedback, which is what makes typing satisfying, but this has been an incredible experience so far. So smooth, so soft, and just so sleek and ergonomic.

Now that I've completed my article for work, I find myself trying to find things to type and write about. It just feels so good to write this way.

Looks so elegant. This has got to be the most minimalist keyboard set up ever. I might look into those switches for myself -- I've been wanting to have a keyboard that I could bring to a coffee shop or library.

Believe it or not, there are split keyboards out there with a dozen keys or less... It can get way more minimalist than this!

I have a voyager. Good for commuting.

Love that it works on a bag in a tram

Is that a phone? Or an ereader? Anyway, I fucking love it.

Palma is an eink ereader shaped like a phone! Got it during the sale (still ongoing, I think) coz the Palma 2 is now out.

Nice! I'd love to get one so I could read at work (during free time), but I already have a Kobo and I wonder how would I syncronize the books ecc.. It seems like soo much work🫠

Apparently it's doable with koreader installed or something like that... But yes, that's too much work.
