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

Hey all, I type all day as many of us do and I've been finding some pain in my wrist and tingling in my fingers lately and want to know the best keyboard I can throw my favorite switches into and try to avoid/mitigate these symptoms. Hoping to keep it under $200 and I've never sodered before but willing to try it if the kits well laid out.

I've had the logitech ergo k860 for a little over a year now. So far everything got better after my first period of wrist and arm pain. However, now it's getting back and I'm also open for new suggestions.

So far my research has led me to the conclusion that no all-inclusive ergonomic keyboard exists that fulfills all requirements to an ergonomic keyboard.

Also, perhaps you want to switch from a flat mouse to a vertical mouse or perhaps even a ball mouse or a bar mouse.
