I use these phone holders; cheap, sturdy, easy to tighten and fold down: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BP1ZQTJ1
Currently using these and they work pretty well. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqz9UNE
Yeah those work reaaaaal good i have four of those on my fifi, two on each board.
I found they worked merely okay. Maybe I just didn't have them positioned correctly but it was a little tippy. This was on a lily58, so the size may have made good balancing a bit tougher.
Either way, I switched them out for the magfrotto tenting, which works super duper well
Yeah, they are tippy.
I got mine perfectly balanced now tho, but with a lot of adjusting.
Oh okay nice! I'm glad to hear it! I had the decently balanced but thumb keys would tip it a bit. So I just decided to upgrade so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Plus the new setup is modular so when I assemble my next keyboard all I need to do is add magsafe stickers
If you have access to a 3d printer, try looking for a tenting case on Printables or Thingiverse. The CRKBD printed case I downloaded was pretty good. Plus I was able to modify the design over time to suit my needs. My current iteration is over a year old and I love it.
I used books to put board over, quite adjustable, though not the best.
If it's cheap enough to you, the z-tripod is only 25$ (you'll need two). You could find even cheaper version were you just put the keyboard on it and rely on gravity to keep it from moving.
To give you an idea, manfrotto pocket tripod + magsafe adapter+magsafe rings is about 120€ (about the same in $ I would guess). To me that starts to qualify as expensive.
A very cheap version if you have a 3d printer (or a friend who owns one) would be to design your monoblock stand like this https://www.printables.com/model/311468-corne-tilt. There is the option to print legs too (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/corne-keyboard-tenting-mod). Jlcpcb or other manufacturers can print them for you (but mind the shipping and taxes).
Bean cushion/rice bag, anything deformable. Works really well. Buy two smaller ones for distance of you want.
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
