![]() ![]() That empty spot right below the home key would fit an end key just fine. Keyboard spacing can hugely affect comfort during the day, especially if you’re pounding on it for hours at a time. The more expensive models (i.e., the ones you’ll find on specialized websites) let you adjust the position of the two keyboard halves-change the distance between them, adjust their angle, or both. More affordable boards are usually one piece, with each half of the keyboard set apart at a fixed, unchangeable width. Better ergo keyboards commonly share that one feature, though with different takes. ![]() The Q11’s split design is what makes it ergonomic. (Yes, please!) These aspects don’t affect ergonomics, but the Q11 feels nice for its price. It lacks a tenting kit accessory (a feature built into the Kinesis and Cloud Nine boards), but Keychron says it’s considering whether to make one. Meanwhile, the Q11 offers plenty of customization-hot-swappable switches, two rotary dials, a CNC machined aluminum body, easy QMK/VIA programming-yet costs $205 fully built. Many in the higher range are compact boards, too, leaving few options if you like dedicated arrow keys (much less function keys). On the other end of the scale, more customizable keyboards like the Zsa Ergodo圎Z easily hit $300, with boards like the Dygma Raise pushing into the $400 range. Rivals that cost about the same have soldered switches (e.g., Kinesis Gaming Freestyle Edge, Cloud Nine ErgoTKL, Cloud Nine ErgoFS). The Dygma Raise starts at $349 USD and shoots up to $438 if you get the optional tenting kit. ![]()
