  • awesome-split-keyboards

    A collection of ergonomic split keyboards ⌨

  • I'm the author of the submitted site (although "remixer+maintainer" is more accurate – there was an older list [1] which I updated and converted to a gallery with filters). I'm not the author of the Goldtouch review [2] which I (indirectly) link to.

    A search for "best ergonomic keyboard" or similar returns articles from the New York Times, Forbes, etc [3]. These usually cover mass-produced rubber-dome ergonomic keyboards – the Microsoft Sculpt, Goldtouch, and so on. I didn't feel any need to duplicate this, though I will reconsider.

    This site shows mechanical split keyboards. Some of these are under the "mass produced" filter: the Kinesis and Ergodox etc. The intention is to show options your IT department should be willing to buy. It's not in any way intended to demean these products!

  • dactyl-manuform

  • Totally doable as a first project, I'm midway through building my first keyboard with a large number of modifications and it's been a really fun project. The Dactyl Manuform is a great starting point https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

    And /r/ErgoMechKeyboards on Reddit is a great community for understanding what you're trying to achieve.

  • nek-type-a

    Natural Ergonomic Keyboard Type A

  • You can also build a PCB (or two) pretty easily. That’s what I did when I built my keyboard. You can find the source here: https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a

  • lalboard

    A 3D-printed keyboard inspired by the DataHand

  • I would love to have an ergonomic split keyboard.

    But they are (almost) only available with those bulky, loud, (imho) hard to use, "clicky" mechanical keys.

    It's a pity nobody is building such a thing like https://github.com/JesusFreke/lalboard with keys like https://www.r-go-tools.com/products/ergonomic-keyboards/r-go...
