ErgoMechKeyboards
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

Keebart is located in Germany with free shipping on most keyboards. I’ve been very happy with my Sofle v2 and after sale support from him. He uses USB-C for the right-left connection rather than TRRS, which I find to be nice.
The Sofle was an easy intro to split ergo boards. I had a Keychron Q11 and switched to this, which has a number row and 5 thumb keys.
The case is 3D printed, so not ZSA quality, but I have no complaints. He does offer aluminium cases though if you want to spend more.
