I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.

Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?

I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.

    Ya. I wonder if a ‘loophole’ would be adding a row of blank/programmable keys down that middle row. That would make this easy to do, without the purists (80% of the demographic) feeling that it’s tainted by being not technically correct.

        I mean an extra row on both sides, but I assume you figured out what I meant. That’s actually a really good place for macro and modifier keys that I never thought of before since they’re always in easy reach without lifting your hands. Somebody with more free time than me: Get on this!
