Thinking about making a split keyboard. I don't really have the skills to design one so I'll just get something from online, but I think they're really cool nonetheless.

Anyone have any recommendations of designs?

Moonlander tip: my hands are on the smaller side, so i needed to angle the thumb cluster up.

Intead of using the supplied hex key, I got a couple pieces of paper towel, fold them a few times, and place them under the thumb clusters.

Hi all!
Are there any designs with 28-30 keys?
Three keys for each finger including thumb (but only two needed for pinky), and optionally with a concave.

Okay, so I finally made up my mind to buy an again, now a column-staggered one.

I decided to get the Iris Rev. 8, as it has a reasonable amount of keys, it is hotswappable, I don't have to do any soldering, but still very customizable.

Of course they are out of stock now. 😭

So… for those that use a split and/or columnar , how long did it take you to get good at it?

Finally, there's an extensive review of my favorite , the MoErgo , on RTINGS.com:
https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/moergo/glove80

For office use, Glove80 scored 8.7 of 10 points. Here are all pros and cons they list:

Pros:

  • Excellent typing quality.
  • Exceptional ergonomic adjustments.
  • Remarkably low wired latency.
  • Lightweight, relatively low profile design makes it a more portable than many ergonomic models.

Cons:

  • Build quality is acceptable but underwhelming for the price point.
  • Bulky, relatively awkward shape of each module makes it much less portable than conventional models designed for portability.
  • Keyboard has two halves which can make it awkward to use from a seated position without a desk.
  • No dedicated media keys on the primary layer.

Moonlander, kinesis, ergodox, so many options for split keyboards - but not a single one with a built in trackpoint! Surely there must be a market for it... Hey Tex.com.tw - I love my shinobi, but would you please split it ergonomically down the middle for me, so that my back also loves it?

The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard has a module

They’re expensive like all the boutique ergo boards

And I haven’t tried one

But it’s the one I know of that’s in production
