Recently, I've been looking into switching to a keyboard with an Ortho split layout. I want the cost to be as low as possible in case I end up not liking it. Any kits that would work for this? US btw, if that matters for availability

If the keyboard is too cheap you might end up thinking split is bad, but the real reason would be cheap switches or something.

Buy a keyboard you can sell used or borrow one from a friend.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
