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.

    Cool. Maybe all I need is to jump in and it won’t end up an issue I notice. I dont understand the hostility at this quirk from some people. Not everyone is an expert, and being snubby of newbies is very unwelcoming.(not you)

      I was really bad about it before I went split. I even found myself moving my left hand to the right split sometimes but eventually my muscle memory remapped itself to respect the split.

        This is great! You began a new type of thing. It took a while, but you got the new thing. Now you are great at the new thing.

        This community seems more often to bite you and mock you if you are new to the thing. I am dissuaded from going through with the thing at all since the vibes are so rude.
