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

Looks great. I’m sure it’s super comfy. Do you ever travel with it or is that not super feasible?
Is quite portable, more so than the Kinesis advantage I was using.
I've got a laptop rucksack and its fine to dump it in there. Haven't had any issues with it.
One day I'll get round to modding in an on/off switch to disconnect the battery but today is not that day.
For a size guide, this is how it stacks up against a corne which was my travel board (mouse for scale):
Thanks so much for the picture.
I was thinking of getting a wireless Corne or a Ferris sweep as a travel board. How do you like the dactyl in comparison?
They're both good but I've gotta say, I'll not go back to a flat keyboard anytime soon.
