I have one, but it's in a drawer now because I was finding it too difficult to switch between it and a normal laptop keyboard. I want a split keyboard that has all the keys in the same places, so muscle memory doesn't need to adapt. I touch type, so the same fingers just need to find the same keys in the same relative positions. Mainlander does not do that, and I can't find the layout or top view zoomable photos for this one :-/

Ooooh. Like this https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/freestyle-pro-keyboard/ https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/freestyle-pro-keyboard/ I want that but curved a bit and tented, without a change in layout.

  That's the old version, you want this: https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ Despite the gaming moniker, it's actually their best professional-grade keyboard, with better support for macros and backlighting.

    I just wish they'd make non-gaming styled keycaps, with a font like the ones on my MacBook.

  There's a ~$30 add-on accessory to add tenting support in 5°, 10°, and 15° positions. Same as with the Freestyle Edge mentioned in the other comment, for the newer, gaming-focused keyboard. I find it to be the best part of having a split keyboard.

You might also check out the Dygma Raise, which follows a similar vein as the Moonlander but keeps the staggered layout.

I switched to Microsoft Sculpt for this reason. Muscle memory is fully compatible with a laptop keyboard. Except it’s much more comfortable, due to the tilt, width and superb tactile feeling for such low-travel keys. Totally took away all my wrist pains. As a bonus it doesn’t look like a science-lab on your desk, like a lot of other ergonomic keyboards do. Got to say this new Advantage 360 has a really nice look though.

The mistel barocco is an option. You can even combine the two sides of the keyboard without noticing that it could be seperable.

  And its also distinctive because you can (with some caveats) use separate USB cables to each side, rather than a cable spanning the two parts. That works really well for me.
