That is getting pretty close to being a split ortholinear layout [1] (especially the left side).
I'm almost surprised that they haven't made the switch to a vertical staggered key layout [2] yet for some of their Ergonomic keyboards. I haven't tried one myself but it seems like it would improve the ergonomics somewhat (at the cost of having to relearn some muscle memory).

- dmix 6y agoAre either of those for sale anywhere? Or do you have to build them yourself? I've been meaning to buy a split keyboard for some time but I can't find a good vendor who sells complete keyboards w/o tons of LEDs or weird wooden designs. I just want a straight forward mechanical keyboard style one.
- DavidVoid 6y agoI'm not sure about those exact models but there are some links to pre-built ones in this /r/ErgoMechKeyboards thread [1]. edit: Just found this list of a bunch of split keyboards [2]. You should be able to find something on there.

- dmix 6y agoThank you, both of those are helpful. I'm happy to see the market has matured a lot since I last looked.
