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

Pinky4
I've used it for a few years and don't plan to change unless something with an integrated trackball comes along at a decent price. Maybe the Naya but $700 is too much. 💰💸
It moves the micro controller to the pinky zone to free up more pointer finger keys. I love the Choco thumb clusters too.
I also use a Cornish Zen for when I'm in the office or away from my battle station.
This looks similar to the Corne V4, which supports 4 additional interior keys.
Yeah pretty similar indeed. Might have been a tough choice if v4 was available way back when I built mine.
I do hope more keyboards offer choc thumbs too. It's pretty comfy to rest them just a bit lower.
