Hi. I’ve been using Dactyl Manuforms for quite a few years now. Settled down with a 5 column with an extremely sculpted SA keycaps and bobba u4t switches. I use only 2/3 thumb keys regularly but enjoy having more.

I’m interested to know if anyone thinks an alternative is worth trying ? Any input would be appreciated!

It’s surprising to me that having redundancy isn’t common. I’ve got several ways to get to numbers, arrows, I can reach any key using the left hand only (and one day I’ll be arsed to fix things so that the right hand could too). It’s mostly theoretical, as some of the combinations are not well memorised, but those I found useful obviously are.

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
