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.

Very kind of you. Is this how I should speak to people? Tell then they are a terrible human because I'm asking about something and there was some discontent?

Please just be kind. Golden rule dude.

You keep pretending you are innocent here.

Everyone that you’re complaining about, only gave you attitude after you responded to them with attitude. And they gave it back in the same amount, but you took offense.

And now you wanted an answer, you got it, and you’re still trying to take the high ground. Also, don’t preach golden rule and be kind when you the one breaking it first….

Fucking lmfao.

If you see an asshole in the morning, you saw an asshole, if you see assholes all day, you’re the asshole. This quote couldn’t be more accurate to explain you.
