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

Just wanted to chime in with a positive review of the Alice 98. My wife didn't want to go through effort of relearning to type on an Ortho keyboard and, as a finance professional, she's tied to her numpad. The Alice 98 has been a great step into the mech keyboard world for her. Finding keycaps can be tricky but there are still a good range of options. All in all, would recommend, for someone hoping to duplicate the layout of a Microsoft 4000 but with much nicer feel and sound.
