A recent post made by @freemo and his split keyboard (mastodon.nl/@freemo@qoto.org/1) triggered me to look into Split mechanical keyboards. I am currently fielding the *takes a deep breath* Kinesis Gaming Freestyle Edge RGB (gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/), and it is great for me. Near perfect. But not perfect yet.

So I am wondering if I should work as-is with it, or start a new fun hobby of creating new keyboards that fit my specifications. 🤔

@ligthert please do tag me and let me know how you like whatever you end up using.

I have not used a straight keyboard by choice in 20 years. Got carpel tunnel early on. Bought a Microsoft Natural keyboard when they were new. Carpel tunnel basically evaporated. Now I will go out of my way to have a split keyboard handy at all times.

Yea anythign other than a straight keyboard is nice.. I prefer split largely cause the keys are in the same place so muscle memory is better.
