This guy seems to have given up too soon. There are also normal spilt keyboards like the UHK. And even cheaper Chinese options like the Mistel Barocco. These Chinese keyboards are what most people should get if they need a split keyboard.
Normal keyboard layout, just split. Connected by a coiled USBC to USBC cable that you could replace with a longer cable.
I use the Mistel which fine for me. The layout never bothered me, just the distance between the halves and the lack of tenting.
They are also programmable which is useful when you can’t use software to remap your keys.
- InvertedRhodium 5y agoI ordered my UHKv2 in January and ended up buying a Dygma Raise in the meantime while I wait. I'm sure the UHK will be a lovely keyboard, when it finally ships.
- airstrike 5y agoI'd love recommendations on a split keyboard with low profile keys. The "normal" angle on keyboards kills my wrists...
- unemphysbro 5y agoLove the mistel. I've been using it for 4 years and it's great!
- ghostly_s 5y agoWell I for one will say I did a lot of research on split boards about a year ago and never came across Mistel. It even has my preferred tenkeyless arrow placement!
- 2muchcoffeeman 5y agoYeah, it’s hard to get information about them and they have the weird names. I only know about them because certain suppliers around here stock them and a friend had some other mechanical keyboard from them.
- johncalvinyoung 5y agoI got a UHKv1 from an early adopter friend (who had multiple UHKs) and have loved it. It was hard getting used to it at first, but it was the only keyboard that didn't make my forearms ache, when my tendonitis flared up.
- Separo 5y agoAlso on the UHK v1 and have since not been able to use anything else. Especially because of fast layer switching, home row arrows and mouse layer. Although checking out the Dygma Raise now :)
- ozbonus 5y agoMistel is a Taiwanese company and their keyboards (at least the ones I've seen and bought) are made in Taiwan.
