A Beginner’s Guide to Split Keyboards

Article note: Years of exploration: I think my Kenesis Freestyle Pro and OysterErgo UltraErgo Wireless (sadly no longer made) are my favorites. IMO in most circumstances it's just not worth the hassle to be more exotic than simply split and tented, it protects your shoulders and wrists without screwing up your habituation. I built a Lily58 (colstag) and am not compelled by the fuckery of layers or retraining for colstag. I have some chorders (Most time on Spiffchorder/BAT style 7-key) and it's fascinating but inherently slower and less direct. I would like to try something dished (Glove80, Advantage360 variant) and some of the multi-dimensional radicals (svalboard, Carachorer). All of the above are _very_ expensive for curiosity that isn't particularly probable to pan out. The story might be different if there wasn't a very _very_ established standard. Or if you had reason to type one-handed. Meanwhile, many people are typing with their thumbs on touchscreens which is maximum pathology.
