Never tried one but would love to at some point
Keychron Q10 owner here, with glorious pandas resprung to 60g and lubed. And Dusk MT3 keycaps too. My endgame board, it’s a joy to type on.
And I just got the new Keychron Q0 plus, which is great too.
I’d tried a bunch of different split layout keyboards but the Alice layout works best for me.
I think Alice is the best middle ground between normal staggered and split ergo. I tired an ergodox but didn’t like it. I’m not an ortho guy. They look cool but I can’t get used to it.
You’re not alone. I built my own Ergo Dox way back & while it was better than cheap keyboards, it never felt as good as others. I’ve been on the same rubber dome electrocapacitive switch NiZ plum keyboard for several years now. I’d love to try some of these newer, cheaper options of the past few years – especially for the ergonomics – but I really don’t want that downgrade feeling of going back to mechanical.
Dang that’s beautiful. I really want to try a split alice but I can’t bring myself to spend the money right now.
Mokulua kit from mechwild probably your cheapest option. It’s a solder kit and all through hole, I built one myself and had fun. It’s fr4 sandwich so on the cheaper end, though depends on what you’re used to. Soldering is fun!

I have the Feker Alice 80, and am pondering a second split keyboard. The double B key annoys me.
