Keyboards are generally known about, but the ergo part of it is a rabbit hole within the rabbit hole. Some people literally design, 3D print, wire up, solder and program one-off keyboards because they don't like the ones made by other people.

It's infectious too. I REALLY want to get good with one! and don't get me started on the absolute craziest style: chorded keyboards! Insane!

Have you tried one? I’ve been pretty curious about them

Not yet but I am seriously considering building a badass ergo keyboard at some point once I see a good enough design to copy.
