Yeah, it dates back to 1949. Shortly after the sino-japanese war on the 1st of October 1949 the CCP announced the creation of the People’s republic of china.

The Japanese were all like, LOL, that’s our empire why do you say it’s a country and it became tradition to make outlandish jokes on the 1st of October. So to this day when the PRC celebrate their national day Japan celebrate jokes day (冗談の日).

Also I made that shit up.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

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

No excessive posting/“shilling” for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.
