But they are (almost) only available with those bulky, loud, (imho) hard to use, "clicky" mechanical keys.
It's a pity nobody is building such a thing like https://github.com/JesusFreke/lalboard with keys like https://www.r-go-tools.com/products/ergonomic-keyboards/r-go...
I would love to have an ergonomic split keyboard. But they are (almost) only available with those bulky, loud, (imho) hard to use, "clicky" mechanical keys.

I am up past my bedtime typing on hacker news just to mega-disagree about the goldtouch keyboard, of which I own multiple and have used exclusively for over 10 years to manage serious RSI which has left me debilitated at times and will probably never resolve fully. The goldtouch is a fantastic ergonomic keyboard. I’m sure others are just as good or better and didn’t object to the authors criticisms until s/he suggest…
I think the Kenesis Freestyle (all variants) does tent? It's just an optional add-on, not part of the base kit. And I assumed having the mass-market ones grouped was mostly intended to let you filter the other ones out (assuming you're trying to buy one, and not just read about wacky historical curiousities). At least how I used it when recently exploring this market (in the end I decided to stick with my Kinesis Adv…
It’s not perfect and as I say I’m sure there’s something better, but the kenesis is not it if you like your hands closer to neutral (less rotated) as you type.

It does but only to 15 degrees, goldtouch tents to 30 which makes it more comfortable (to me). It’s not perfect and as I say I’m sure there’s something better, but the kenesis is not it if you like your hands closer to neutral (less rotated) as you type.
Again separate purchase which would need to be taken into account, but given my experience with their other products, it still sounds like a superset of the Goldtouch in many ways, I'm guessing it has a wider community for mods etc as well.

I recently developed a high end wireless ErgoDox keyboard [1] though I'm working on a more affordable version that will be announced in March/April. It will be around $200 with all the components (some minor assembly required). If you would like to be notified, please subscribe to my mailing list [2] for "ErgoDox Wireless Lite". If you are interested in details, you can also reach me via email (see profile). [1] http…
Do you also offer assembly services? As someone who recently been unable to work on electronic components (small parts, easily swallowable, in a small apartment = danger), I'd highly appreciate it
For the planned low end version, assembly will just be installing switches/keycaps (no soldering). A similar assembly service will be available for people who just want to receive a complete keyboard.
Cool site. I didn't notice this much selection last year. I just ended buying a Kinesis Advantage 2. I'm very happy with the advantage 2. I'm curious about boards with smaller keys, more compact layout, or extra keys in the same space. The advantage 2 gives you easy access to the arrow keys with no loss of access to other keys. Eliminates the whole efficient arrow usage problem, or gives you more keys for commands if…
Do you think a keyboard like that is mainly helpful for people with pain, or it would make typing more comfortable/efficient for the general user ?
How on earth do people actually type on some of these? I have a keyboardio model 01(this: https://shop.keyboard.io/collections/model-01-keycaps/produc... ) And even this feels like I'm having to function dive into weird chords of keys to get some of the functionality that I want (arrow keys, mostly). Are people just not actually writing code with these ultra minimalist things?

I have made for myself something alike: https://imgur.com/a/By9YN2q Is made on wood, to being on the style of MS Ergo but not curved (yet I think it feel nice as is).
How/where did you get the custom key labels? Dye sublimation?

With this extra space there's no problem putting all 4 arrow keys, \|, Delete, `~, and Esc all within home row reach.

I forgot that I use Twitter sometimes and have pictures of another Moonlander experiment: mounting it to my chair! https://twitter.com/petersergeant/status/1356057651931537408 I did eventually get parts for both sides. One of the flexible arm clamp tripod mount thingies was not stiff enough to hold the keyboard up, but the other one was great. Since they were both the same part from the same order... it's kind of a c…
That’s fantastic. Is your 3D model on Thingiverse or anywhere else? I’ve been thinking about making exactly the same thing to use tripod mounts on the Moonlander.
Honestly, I measured the hole spacing as 19.5mm but it is definitely not quite right because it is tough to get all 4 screws in. I don't have gauge pins to measure it correctly, and the accuracy suffers. But you can get two screws in which was enough for my use.
I uploaded the Fusion 360 file so you can easily correct this.
I would also print it upside down from how it displays on Thingiverse. That way the mount keyboard interface is as smooth as possible. (Well, if you have a smooth print plate, I guess.)
