Hi guys, I’m looking to switch from a Zoom65 EE to an ergo keyboard. I have a feeling a product with my needs doesn’t exist and I’d have to go custom…

  • split kb
  • wireless to PC (wireless between keyboard halves a plus but not necessary)
  • 2.5ghz dongle would be sweet but not necessary
  • switch hotswap
  • led lighting (doesn’t have to be per key)
  • variable tenting
  • travel case?

I’m located in the US. My budget can go up to $350.

Not currently available, and the budget is not yet known, but it checks all your other criteria (except the travel case): https://x-bows.com/products/x-bows-split-keyboard

Otherwise, you can start with another existing option and adapt it to add what is missing. For instance, if the keyboard is built around a pro micro and you want to make it wireless, you can replace the pro micro with a nice nano and find a way to place a battery and power switch.

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
