What’s a good and cheap tenting solution for split keyboards? I currently use rubber stands but I can’t get the angle high enough for my liking.

Bean cushion/rice bag, anything deformable. Works really well. Buy two smaller ones for distance of you want.

I use these phone holders; cheap, sturdy, easy to tighten and fold down: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BP1ZQTJ1

If you have access to a 3d printer, try looking for a tenting case on Printables or Thingiverse. The CRKBD printed case I downloaded was pretty good. Plus I was able to modify the design over time to suit my needs. My current iteration is over a year old and I love it.

I got 2 of these and they work pretty well. I put Velcro on mine to hold it in a little better cuz I’m a heavy typer.

I found they worked merely okay. Maybe I just didn’t have them positioned correctly but it was a little tippy. This was on a lily58, so the size may have made good balancing a bit tougher.

Either way, I switched them out for the magfrotto tenting, which works super duper well

Yeah, they are tippy.

I got mine perfectly balanced now tho, but with a lot of adjusting.

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
