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 like the glove80, but I don't want my keyboard to have any lights on it, and I want blank keycaps

I feel like I could find it for much cheaper without these things, but I also want it to have that instant actuation/deactuation found in certain gaming keyboards that makes the latency effectively tiny

Is there anything like this on the market? I can't find anything.

Like the Glove80 in what way?
There's nothing else that's exactly like it.

I guess the Kinesis Advantage360 is the most similar, but it's still quite different.

I just want the most ergonomic possible setup that I don't have to DIY, I got the ergodox ez wayyy back and the thumb cluster sucks, people are talking about how the glove80 is basically a perfect version of it, i love weird shape of it.

Only thing I want to add to it is this: https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/platform

I just hate having lights and labels on my keyboard.

Personally I find the Glove80 very comfortable. But I also wanted it for the rest of its features. So it depends on what are you looking for in a keyboard / what are your priorities.

You can also just keep the lights off and get the blank keycaps for the Glove80.
