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

You probably know that, but I discovered the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key concept with ergol, and also the Alt-gr layer.

Both are very useful for me now.

I think you can use them to have a nice setup for your three langages you type.
