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.

    Unfortunately the reality of niche online communities is that the assholes tend to be over represented in them.

    Good luck with your ergo journey!

    FWIW: when I made the leap I went full in and got a split, columnar stagger keyboard with layers, and switched to colemak at the same time. It was a very rough couple of months relearning to type, but I learned along the way that my typing technique had been atrocious in ways I never realized. I do a much better job now of using the correct finger for each key and my hand pain from typing is basically gone.
