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

I have a wrist pain. At first, I thought it was because of my weight training, but I found out it only happens when I'm using the computer. After searching for an ergonomic keyboard, I wanted to give it a try. And now, the wrist pain is gone. I'm so happy with it.

This is my first keyboard. I have a smol brain and want to start with the easy mode, so I bought a fully built keyboard. I chose the K:02 because it uses USB-C, has an OLED, a number row, Vial, and it's WHITE (I like white).

This is a great start, and since I'm in this rabbit hole, I thought I would build another keyboard for the office. Which one should I buy or build?

P.S: At first, I couldn't type properly. It was weird, but now I'm happy with my typing speed of 40 WPM (yeah, it's still too slow)

FYI: I'm using a tactile switch for the homerow and a linear switch for anything else.

High quality post. Looks nice. I have a Ergodox EZ since a year or so, and I'm still getting used to it

What did you bind to your blank keys?
