split keyboards

The split keyboards tag on WindowsForum.com covers ergonomic and DIY keyboard designs that connect to Windows PCs, including open-source hardware projects and crowd-funded peripherals. Coverage highlights how split mechanical keyboards can serve multiple roles, such as a conventional typing layout, a one-handed gaming keypad, or a programmable macro controller. Discussion also touches on features like ortholinear layouts, integrated joysticks that present as gamepad sticks or mouse controllers, and the ability for each half to operate independently. For Windows users interested in ergonomic input, custom firmware, or unusual peripheral hardware, these threads track emerging split keyboard projects and their practical implications.
