100% split mechanical keyboard with hardware-level programmability?
Oh god don't get me started on this rabbit hole 😂 I went through the exact same frustration last year and ended up spending way too much time researching split boards. The real problem is that most manufacturers treat "ergonomic" and "full-size with numpad" like they're mutually exclusive concepts,

Split Row Stagger vs Split Ortho or Column Stagger
I used a Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+ keyboard (row staggered split) for a couple years and last year switched to a column stagger and I am not looking back. I absolutely LOVED my Freestyle Edge keyboard and honestly was very pleased with it and honestly would have stuck with it if the Kinesis softwa

Looking for a Unicorn... like the Freestyle 2
Maybe they have updated the palm rests for the Freestyle Edge Plus recently and I have used an older model, but I actually find them really great, I'm not sure what you mean by how they force your wrists into an uncomfortable location, I wonder if your desk might be too high or maybe your chair too

I kind of float type where I jus

Thinking about a split keyboard for ergonomics — worth the money?
I second this comment, the Q11 or similar will help a lot. There are plenty of people with the Q11 but they aren't vocal, so not a lot of info on the interwebs, but from what I have heard the quality is good. Never heard of the Spider Island split and my first search on aliexpress resulted in no hit

What would your keyboard look like if you could rearrange and even add new keys?
The Kinesys Freestyle Edge also has function keys on the left, although strictly speaking they're "macro" keys that you can remap. Those XT-style function keys mean that you can access them with a simple slide of your left hand, not some giant upward reach. (Having function keys along the top as wel
