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 think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.

Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?

I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.

You are asking for accommodations while using accessibility as your excuse for not wanting to correct the bad behavior that will lead to further issues.

You are laughing in the face of people with real issues, but of course most people don’t realize this. Even with a mirror held up to their face and explained it multiple times.

You’re a terrible person.

I wish you a wonderful and happy life. Practice kindness and the golden rule.

Have a lovely day.

And continue to parade and lie to yourself about accessibility because you’re too lazy to correct behavior that will lead to a disability later in life!

Sometimes people need a wake up call, hopefully this is yours and you can learn a valuable life experience from this. But that’s doubtful…

Dude stop being such a pathetic loser. Jesus Christ people can ask for things that feel comfortable for them without hurting you. It's just sad getting this worked up over this.

They can absolutely, I’ve explained they can.

But don’t be like OP and hide behind altruistic reasons when questioned about the reasons.
