> In my experience, splitting the keyboard in half delivers 95+% of the ergonomic benefits with virtually zero tradeoffs beyond the couple of days it take to adjust to it. "standard layout, but split" doesn't quite do enough to fix a big deficiency of standard layouts: Disproportionate use of the pinky finger compared to the thumb. - The thumb is much stronger than the pinky fingers, but the pinky fingers get used for many more keys than the thumb. It's much more comfortable to be able to use the thumb for enter, backspace, tab, escape, than having to move the hand & use the pinky finger for these.
