Looking for recommendations for an ergonomic 75% or 80%

[Manofinterests]

YMD Split 75 might be what you’re looking for; you’ll just need to build it up or have someone build it up for you if you’re looking for a prebuilt

The pictures show an ANSI layout, but at least according to the plate, it should support ISO layout as well. Emailing to confirm would be recommended before ordering if you go this route.

Unfortunately no negative tilt or wrist rest out of the box. But with some very large 3m bumpons, you can give yourself negative tilt or tenting.

With a 3d printer and some CAD work, you could make your own little plastic feet too, although this would end up being a separate project on its own lol

So as summary;

@pauldoo

An ergonomic layout with: negative tilt, some tenting, wrist rest.

We got a split 75% with 2 macro columns. Negative tilt or tenting can be achieved with rubber bumpons. No wrist rests included.

@pauldoo

75% or 80% ISO layout (I am in the UK). Apologies if I’ve gotten the terminology wrong here, but I would like function keys and arrow keys. I don’t mind if the arrow keys are smushed up beside shift+enter, or separated a little.

The plate does look like it supports ISO, but yeah, would want to email in to confirm that support

@pauldoo

Not a “niche” layout like ortholinear with thumb clusters, etc. I sometimes share the computer or do pair programming, so need other people to be able to use the keyboard without too much frustration.

Standardized layout, just split down the middle

@pauldoo

Bonus points for a volume knob.

Unfortunately no volume knob, but you could program some of the macro keys on the side for volume up, volume down, mute, pause/play, or whatever else you want

I actually have one of these boards built up with linears I was planning on selling. If you’re interested in buying it for cheap, feel free to send me a PM and we can shipping isn’t too much from me to you lol
