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

Well most consumer goods always target bigger demographics for higher or safer profit. There simply isnt a market big enough for these niche cases so custom would be the only way unless someone takes a risk and try these out.
Yet there are companies making spaceships for a handful of humans to go to space. People make niche products. The eye-rolling-nopes are not helpful. I think you were just trying to explain how the mind of a business works (only sell to biggest group), but telling me the system sucks doesn't add anything to fix it.
Idk, I'm on midnight brain right now. I should sleep.
The system sucks and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it so stop complaining. Does that help?
No. It was rude though.
That was the point. Youre crying and complaining that others are being assholes and making fun of you and yet youre here, acting like the biggest prick here. If you act like a dickhead then expect the same from others.
Consider that your point was meant to be rude. Cool. What did you want me to do?
You are the one whining about me haha. I'm just trying to get through this and so many people are bashing me. Man. Idc.
