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-splitĀ¹ row-stagger and no non-splitĀ¹ ortholinearĀ²
Ā¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
Ā² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I started bringing my zilpzalp to work. with my sunset switches I'm a little self conscious about the noise, not that it's much louder than the standard keyboards we are given.
How do you like the nocturnals and have you tried other choc switches?
Nocturnals were actually my first choc I knew they were coming and waited. That being said they are great, very quiet, satisfying to type on and have better tolerances than standard chocs leading to less stem wobble. Out of choc and MX ambients are genuinely one of my favourite if not favourite switch. Definitely recommend, especially if you need the silence. I work from home so thatās not an issue for me but still a nice bonus.
If you like the weight and feel of sunsets, the sunrise switches are coming soon which will be silent tactiles and is aiming for the same feel.
