IMHO it's really nice. I do a ton of typing day in and day out, and the position you can take with a split keyboard is so much more relaxed, your shoulders aren't tensed and your arms can just naturally point forward.

If you touch type it's really easy to adapt to a split keyboard.

Gaming gets a bit awkward, but most of that is due to the reduced number of keys. This board has no function keys and a reduced bottom row, which means you fiddle a bit with where to place ctrl/shift/alt/tab/tilde/esc which is more pronounced in video games.

Any way I guess it depends on what you use your keyboard for day to day and how you use it.

P.S. it's great when you have cats who love to sit right in front of you: you can just move the halves and still type just fine while receiving kisses.

There is... or used to be something similar in the Netherlands, you could travel nationally on trains/busses/trams/subways. "Back in my day" it was actually a "free" student perk.

Any way this type of stuff is great, it really does feel different when you can just board a bus, then a train, then a tram without needing different/separate tickets/stamps/payment.
