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

Where do I get some "normal" Keycaps, like in the image? (lemmy.world)

I am living in Germany and I need some Keycaps, which are not expensive. They don't need to be special, they just need to... work.

oh wow now that's what I'm looking for. Too bad there's very few full sets...

[–] obosob@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Keep an eye on them, they drop new stuff semi-regularly. It's all handmade so not constantly fully stocked.

Yeah, Im still hopeful one day I'll find a set with like an imaginary symbols that I'll like (but not from like recognisable fiction, common sigils, runes, pictograms, etc).
