Any one of the keyboards listed on https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards would be better than that.
- woah 5y agoWhy?
- gorbachev 5y agoBecause they've all actually been designed to be used in split layout, unlike the Apple magic keyboard. They're also all (?) mechanical keyboards, which provide a much better typing experience than any Apple keyboard.
- eertami 5y agoA well built ergonomic split keyboard with high quality switches will certainly provide a better experience than two cheap chiclet keyboards placed side by side. And that's without the auxiliary benefits like freeing up additional desk space, a longer lifespan, and ease of repair.
- tjoff 5y agoLayerkeys that avoid long stretches. It is just so comfortable. You might have heard how nice hjkl is compared to using arrow-keys, imagine ~that for the entire keyboard. Straight columns are superior. Think about it, look at your right hand and how the columns aligns with the keys underneath it. Pretty good huh? Now look at your left and you will probably struggle to explain how anyone could ever justify it, it is absolutely horrendous.
- qudat 5y agoI would recommend the corne. It's cheap to build and once you get used to 40% split ortho you won't look back. As a software engineer it has been my daily driver for years.
- pro_zac 5y agoGreat list! I have the Koolertron (aka SmartYao) and love it. (Though I don't recommend the version with backlit keys) Before that I had one called the Comfort Keyboard. I wore a groove into the spacebar over a decade of use. My favorite feature of split keyboards is programming the left spacebar to backspace.
