I would really like to be able to type at my racing rig without leaning all the way to my left or typing one-handed, so I am going to try to go the split keyboard route
I have useless pinkies
bonus if it has a trackball, especially if it's around the thumb area
not wanting to spend more than $350 CAD on it, and I don't have the means to assemble a kit (hands too shaky to solder safely)
should be relatively easy to switch between it and a standard staggered qwerty, since I have to use one for work
should have an option to come with relatively quiet switches; this isn't my typing pleasure board, this is purely for utility while racing, and keyboards in voice chat are not generally enjoyed.
