Was looking for split ergo keyboards so I thought I’d include my research here for anyone else looking for the same thing. I might come back to this depending on how my decision at the end works out.
sofle guide: SofleKeyboard | A split keyboard based on Lily58, Crkbd and Helix keyboards
keyhive, $75 diy kit without a full case: Sofle RGB — KeyHive
ergomech.store, $330 for a full preassembled sofle with a case: Sofle RGB – Enclose Case | Ergomech Store
keeb.io $350 iris case: Iris Aluminum Case – Keebio
keebmaker has a full sofle with case for $289 but only has renders: Sofle MX Keyboard

things that make you go hmm: I still really don’t like the decisions boardsource made to focus their development time on a commercial, closed-source GUI frontend instead of the open-source free solutions that are already out there. I wrote a lot more of this and deleted it. There’s more important things to be upset about in 2024.
Woah, apparently peg went open source! Really good news!
