Sawme here! Honmestly I dom"t thinkl I coukd ever go vack tp a mormal keyboard ¶¶¶¶

I think one of my favorite keyboards ever was a Microsoft “Natural” keyboard. I think they were available in the mid ’90s or so. Not quite a real split keyboard, but the ergonomics were great. I think I gave it away…it was great for typing, but I wanted a simpler keyboard for gaming.
the one with the biiig built in "leather" wrist rest? loved that thing!

You don't use a spilt keyboard set to colemak exclusively running Emacs weird

So is this the new trend after 60% mechanical keyboards, ultrawide monitors or immutable distros ?
Maybe it would improve my typing speed, but I've been using a conventional keyboard layout for so long now, I'm fine with where I'm at. Almost thirty years of muscular memory made it "hard coded" in my hands.

Can you recommend a cheap split keyboard? I'm not sinking 300$ to discover I hate it

Have you considered remapping that control away from right click?
My mouse has five inputs: left click, right click, scroll wheel (not including clicking), ball movement and emulated middle coding by simultaneously clicking left and right.
I can't see any of those being better than right clicking and neither a keyboard nor a controller seem preferable.

it seems to be perfect for people who are not working on a desk

180£ isn't cheap

180£ isn't cheap
180 for a keyboard - not cheap
180 for a split mechanical keyboard - relatively cheapI'm not aware of any other split keyboard that's cheaper.

YES, thank you.
My brain was stuck on chroma, which made no sense, lol.
I thought the exact same thing, but the thing is, i switched to a trackball mouse and I will never go back...
So some times it's worth it.
I grew up with trackballs because my dad preferred them to the old mice with a ball underneath. So for office work I still use one too. But it's still just a pointing device so I'd say it would be similar to learn using a split keyboard or a dvorak layout or something. You'd still press one key after antother.
The CharaChorder is so different in the way your "typing" multiple keys at once. I feel like it has such a steep learning curve because you have to not only learn another button layout but the whole way your thinking about typing and writing in general. I'm afraid I'd just get frustrated and never use it, even though I thinks it's extremely cool.
