Neat! I like the keyboardio folks a lot, although their boards aren't always what I'm personally looking for.

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

Big same - they're doing cool things, but not quite the things I'm looking for.
Which is a crying shame, because the model 100 is gorgeous.
This may sound weird but it took me pretty long to grasp that those circles are hand rests. Is there any guide I could consult on what kind of form suits which kind of hands or problems?
I found the position of the hand rests really weird from the pictures. But then I put my hands on a Model 100 that I have and they are in a similar position. Given that the layout and the keycap profile look the same as the Model 100, this pretty much looks like a plastic monoblock version of the Model 100.
That color though 😘, we should have more boldly-colored prebuilt keyboards than all the boring black/grey.
