Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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've been looking for a long time for a solution to not having a desk, or room for one. This tiny bedside table barely fits anything... I was using a regular mouse on the bed and dangling a regular keyboard half off the table, which didn't work so great as you can imagine lol. Now I've got this Ploopy Adept trackball and a FalbaTech Atreus62_FT keyboard. Switched to Colemak-dh layout just to make the transition as jarring as possible 😝
Ahh i see! Do you think that order would also be more suitable for gaming?
Hmm depends on what you're used to I guess.
Ok, so i almost took your advice. I made it "left up down right". It feels much more natural for me than "left down up right", I think for two reasons: 1, I'm left-handed and usually have my left hand on the mouse, and 2, the staggering makes this up key physically further forward than the down key. But it does feel much better than what I had before, thanks!
