ErgoMechKeyboards
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

Also, the Moonlander has people saying the tenting is uncomfortable, and to go with the ergodox ez instead... I'm just unsure because there is so many to choose from, but most of them are so expensive that I'd have to buy one and stick with it for years to come.
Every single one of my coworkers who had an ergodox ez now has a moonlander and they are unanimously happy with the upgrade. Tenting is at least an option with the moonlander.
I have the falba redox which is very similar to both layouts and is by far the best tenting on any keyboard I own. Might be a third option if you're seriously considering the other two.
