Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
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
No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

Is this keyboard wireless? If not I couldn’t imagine using it because the wires would sit in your lap
It isn't wireless. I'm not sure how the wires would end up in your lap when the keyboard is on your desk.
Because the wire on the trackpad is facing the user
Oh no, the red cable is actually facing away from you when using it. I guess I shouldn't have taken these pictures at these angles 😅
That makes a lot more sense, I thought the pad was for your left thumb lol
I think they said that because the wires seem to be going toward the user instead of away like a typical keyboard. Edit... Unless you're supposed to use it the other way and turn your hands out instead of in.
It's a split keyboard so you can rotate the two halves and put them further apart as you like. I noticed there was some confusion about how the keyboard should be orientated 😅
I commented another picture with how it would sit on the desk.
