I wish there more "cool" split keyboard options out there. I can't type on an inline keyboard like this without wrist issues for any significant amount of time

exactly! Also unfortunate that not that none of the [new] fancy switches (buckling spring, analogue, etc.) are available without a board.

It's sitting on the shelf because I'm still extremely slow at typing on a new layout, but I do love the look and feel of my https://keyboard.io https://keyboard.io model 01

There's a huge variety out there in the mechanical keyboard space. To name a few that can be bought assembled: - Moonlander - https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ - ErgoDox and relatives - https://www.ergodox.io/ https://www.ergodox.io/ (prebuilt from https://ergodox-ez.com/ https://ergodox-ez.com/ or https://falba.tech/ https://falba.tech/) - Kinesis Edge - https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ - Kinesis FreeStyle Pro - https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle-pro/ https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle-pro/ - Kinesis Advantage 360 - https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/ https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/ (not yet released) - Keyboard.io Model 100 - https://shop.keyboard.io/ https://shop.keyboard.io/ (The Model 01 is now EOL, the updated Model 100 is supposed to ship later this year) - Ultimate Hacking Keyboard - https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ If you're handy with a soldering iron or want to learn, there's also a huge variety of DIY split keyboards. For general research, the ErgoMechKeyboards subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/) has plenty of info. A short list of possible fun ones, though links are results from quick google searches. There are generally plenty of kits/variants/versions for each of these and this is not an exhaustive list, nor an endorsement for any vendors/sellers. - Iris - a split ergonomic keyboard with 4x6 vertically staggered keys and 3 or 4 thumb keys - prebuilt: https://keeb.io/collections/pre-built-keyboards/products/iris-keyboard-pre-built https://keeb.io/collections/pre-built-keyboards/products/iri... - Nyquist - a 60% ortholinear split ergo - Prebuilt: https://keeb.io/collections/pre-built-keyboards/products/nyquist-keyboard-pre-built https://keeb.io/collections/pre-built-keyboards/products/nyq... - Sofle - 6×4+5 keys column-staggered split keyboard with encoder support - https://josefadamcik.github.io/SofleKeyboard/ https://josefadamcik.github.io/SofleKeyboard/ - Kits/assembled: https://keebd.com/products/sofle-v2-1-rgb-keyboard-kit https://keebd.com/products/sofle-v2-1-rgb-keyboard-kit

  This is a good list. I've gone entirely to the Cloud9 Ergo, mostly because of the large space bars combined with split/tented design. I cannot type on a keyboard like the Ergodox and Kinesis models where I have to hit a space key that is only one key wide. I move around on the board too much, and I invariably hit one of the adjacent buttons. https://cloudnineergo.com/ https://cloudnineergo.com/
