Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I am living in Germany and I need some Keycaps, which are not expensive. They don't need to be special, they just need to... work.
I don't know what you'd consider not expensive, but keycapsss.com is based in Germany if I recall correctly.
Keygem, Oblotzky, Candykeys are all also in Germany I think, or else amazon or something for cheap ones?
I have a different question. Where do I get batshit crazy keycaps?
oh wow now that's what I'm looking for. Too bad there's very few full sets...
Keep an eye on them, they drop new stuff semi-regularly. It's all handmade so not constantly fully stocked.
Yeah, Im still hopeful one day I'll find a set with like an imaginary symbols that I'll like (but not from like recognisable fiction, common sigils, runes, pictograms, etc).
Any of you Keebs know what that exact set is in the pic? I like it. Are they shine through? Looking to upgrade my moonlander.
To be honest I get most of my keycaps from AliExpress, plenty of options there for low prices
Drop.com, Amazon, AliExpress, BangGood
Those in particular are called XDA. They're good for nonstandard layouts because every key has the same profile, which is to say it looks the same from the side. Amazon and AliExpress should have plenty of designs in that profile. DSA, ZDA, and a few other are similar "unsculpted" or "flat" keycap profiles.
EDIT: They're most likely a clone set called "Gentleman"
