I personally will not even consider a keyboard which is not split (i.e. "ergonomic"), simply because after typing on one for the past decade I cannot go back to regular square grid keyboards without feeling as though something is horribly, horribly wrong.

Looks cramped to me, but I may have sausage fingers.

It also isn't an IBM Model M.

I have the same problem with some regular keyboards as well although I don't have thick fingers. Why are manufacturers making smaller buttons beats me.

The most important ergonomic feature of my keyboards is capslock being remapped to ctrl. If I have to stretch to reach a conventional ctrl key, I am in severe pain within a single working day. A good keyboard for ordinary users perhaps, but not developers.

Also, why put keys where I would naturally rest my palms?
