ErgoMechKeyboards
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 know it takes weeks to get used to these layouts, but I'm giving it one day, and giving up in three hours but talking about it to make jokes".
It's fine they're not a fan of the style and not convinced. But it seems a very half hearted attempt, especially if they have pain and want to actually address it. I started on ergodox awhile back to deal with wrist pain and it doesn't matter (ms ergo, ergodox, Logitech ergo) I always prefer the format for my wrists now.
The half tempted part and the feeling of not wanting to like it before it starts feels a bit sad, hard to change the feeling of someone when they already decided they don't like something
