Looking for some testimonials on these setups as I’m due for a keyboard upgrade. I like the thought of spreading my arms a bit more and the external wrist rotation from the tenting. Any suggestions?

    It makes a lot of sense to me, although I haven’t jumped on one yet.

    But I refuse to use anything but a 65%, I have a seperate numpad if I need one and having mouse and keyboard closer together is already a godsend ergonomics wise, I have no idea how I could stand full size boards back in the day.

    A split keyboard is already great because your arms can be in a normal position and proper tenting and tilt makes sure your wrists are at a good angle as well.

    That said, most of the more “advanced” split keyboards have pretty… unique layouts and I don’t know if I’ll get used to them. I also really want to keep my arrow keys and don’t want to rely on layers too much, for stuff like the F keys and other rarely used functions it’s fine but I don’t want layers for anything that’s a regular part of my workflow.

    Maybe I’ll just get a quefrency and see how it goes.
