    Not sure if this is supposed to be a deal but I cant seem to think so? Just for clarification im not talking about OP, im talking about lenovo's keyboard, all i see that has it going is its split, wireless and might have comfortable typing? Other than that its not mechanical and that wrist pad is extremely ugly IMO

    • Although, I can't comment on whether the split keyboard is a deal is worth it, I am a little upset that you don't like cork!

      I mean there are people who actually prefer to use that sort of keyboard but I incline to agree that reviews for such product is quite…sparse. Unsure if it's worth buying at $118.26.

      • +3

        It's $99 I found a better code :D

        • +3

          Hey if you like cork which comes with a free keyboard then $99 might be worth it then?

    • +4

      I just had a look, I am no split keyboard person, that is really a user specific thing, depends their style, but $99 for a name brand split keyboard seems pretty good & it's $50 less than Office Works delivered.

      its almost as if everyone has a different opinion in this world.

      • Well everyone does and can have different opinions :)

    • I don't think you would find a mechanical ergonomic keyboard anywhere near this price

      • On a sale u could (i hope!)

        • +2

          Doubtful. Most will set you back $200 plus. You could maybe get one off Aliexpress. I spent over $700 on a group buy custom mechanical ergo…still waiting for it too.

          I seemed to have paid around $150 for my barebones Fancyalice66, although it wasn't on sale at the time. So add your choice of switches and keycaps to that.

          And looks like the Feker Alice 80 is going for just over $200 with switches and keycaps. Although I'm assuming you could probably find better deals and other keyboards/kits for less, but $100 would be really pushing it.

          • @MonkDog: I've had my eye on this ~$400 bad boy. SZA Moonlander

            • @gryphondarks: Nice. That looks pretty cool actually. I've been itching to try a columnar layout in some sort of board as well. But that's a bit out of my price range I think lol.

              I don't mind the Fancyalice66 with its alice/arisu layout, but at the same time, the layout seems like a bit of a compromise between a regular keyboard and something like an actual 2 piece 'split' keyboard. If you're not sized or sitting just right, the ergonomics still aren't going to be right. Plus they're a big board.

            • @gryphondarks: I have the Moonlander. I love it and the software is awesome, but I would suggest you print out a template of it first to make sure it's suitable for you. Look at figure 7 on https://www.milesmcbain.com/posts/zsa-moonlander-review/ . If your thumb falls in between the thumb cluster and N (or B) keys, you'll be constantly stretching and it will hurt after a while.

              • @Elmsy: Great tip, thanks! And what a thorough review that dude did. I did try the printout and I think it suits me. Although - even if your thumb falls in between the thumb cluster and N (or B) keys, isn't the whole point to tent the thumb cluster up and down so that you don't need to stretch the thumb out?

                • @gryphondarks: No worries, glad it suits you! It sucks, but if you move the thumb cluster up you can't actually tent the Moonlander, as the thumb clusters are actually used as the legs for tenting. Plus, it's not that comfortable IMO even if you move the thumb cluster up, but YMMV. There are ways around it like extra 3d printed legs so that you can move the thumb cluster to any position, or you can buy the platform kit (but it adds a fair bit to the cost).

                  In short, it's the best keyboard around if your hands don't need to stretch for the thumb cluster.

    Heh. US version. Similar to AU version.. with more freedom

      Someone gets my humour. I like it.

    • But he said British but with more freedom, I don't recognize the humor.

      But if someone knows how to change my Lenovo keyboard to AU I would be grateful

    but with more freedom added to the spacebar.

    I recently went from a standard to this split design (Logitech variant)

    at first it felt a little strange, after a couple days i actually prefer it. Im no speed typer or anything but i do bang out quite a few emails/quotes per day @work.

    • Very nice, you got the premium split keyboard feel, although you missed out on the CORK.

      • Yeah, no CORK..

        I didnt actually ask for it, the IT guy just had it as a spare. My KB shit itself, kept dropping connection.

        I have this1

        Surprised they're so exxy tbh

      The split centre is great, but the lack of numpad makes me want to cry.

      • I didn't notice that, seems like a weird thing to omit from a full size keyboard.

        • Last year I replaced my wired msft ergo keyboard for the wireless one, and it's got one of the detached wireless numpads in the pack.

          Six months of trying to use the numpad on my WFH desk was just bad. Ended up buying a logitech k860 instead

          • @Jay-Ros: That's two people in here with a K860 now. Must be the leader in splits.

              @checkingthisout: I've used keyboards with a ridge in the middle for a long time, and I don't notice this one. I did some research before going for this one instead of going off the brand (going from ms keyboard to ms keyboard).

              The thing you get used to is the keystrokes are much less deep than your regular keyboard; more like a laptop keyboard but splayed out.

        • +1

          But it's not a full sized keyboard though, it's a TKL… ;)

          It just happens that most splits are huge ha.

        • +1

          I read that from an ergonomics point of view, for those who don't use num pads it's better to not have a num pads built into the KB as it allows your right hand with mouse to be closer to the centre.

      Are they very inspirational?

    I know this is kind on an unfair comparison. But some people got this for free in Lenovo's last deal lol.

    Context. Lenovo offered free points adding up to $100 to $200 credit with no minimum spend. So a bunch of users were able to get all sorts of products for free.

    • +3

      some people got this for free

      Why would you do this to me?

  • +1

    Good find OP. I have a Kinesis Ergo for home and an MS Surface Ergo at work. Looks better than the Microsoft as a non-mech option.

  • How does this compare to the Perixx Periduo at $70?

    • The Lenovo has CORK that is a plus 1 for Lenovo.

    • +1

      the Lenovo is cordless, for starters.

      • Fair points but there's also a wireless (albeit non-cork) version of Perixx for $10 more.

  • wow this is just like my parents

    I grew up in the 90's with a split keyboard and it really did force me to learn to touchtype properly. Whilst it's been a while since I've used a split keyboard, I haven't yet found anything quite as comfortable from an ergonomic standpoint which probably explains my ocassional wrist pain.

    (in case anyone is wondering it was a Cirque Wave keyboard with inbuilt trackpad… I did always want the Microsoft Natural Keyboard though)

  • With spill of coffee, the CORK will be soaked! I will just stick with non-CORK Kmart split keyboard which just $14!

  • Lol this is the one I got from the lenovo 'giveaway' for like $2.

      • Nothing wrong with a bent keyboard.

  • Was hoping to see some REAL split keyboard like BTC 8120…

      I agree. This keyboard isn't split, only bent. Hence my comment, above.
