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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

Kind of related, but SwiftKey used to have exclamation mark next to the spacebar, so you could quickly enter it. Then they switched it to period. It's annoying as hell because typing on phone I'm much more frequently using! Or? But almost never.

Especially when double space makes a period!
