I use the ergodox ez Shine with cherry mx clear switches. https://ergodox-ez.com/ https://ergodox-ez.com/. This is my current layout (tweaking it all the time) https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/ZPn5v/latest/0 https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/ZPn5v/la.... The biggest benefit is the comfort level of a split keyboard with tent/tilt. I've used some Kinesis keyboards and a Mistel Barocco and those are fine, just get a split keyboard with tent/tilt. The ortholinear layout took some getting used to, but now I very much prefer it. However, everything else about it I liked right away: split, ergonomic, mechanical, easily programmable, controls the mouse, dual-function keys, etc. And I've gotten used to the ortholinear and very much prefer it. The 2 complaints I have are the thumb clusters are not ideal for me (it's difficult to reach the 4 small keys), and the tilt kit doesn't tent/tilt enough for me, and it's difficult to keep it in the right configuration.
