I'm interested. Now there are many Topre clones, surely someone will make a split layout Topre clone keyboard?
-
I have not seen any split Topre clones but a split Topre board does exist. https://deskthority.net/wiki/%CE%9CTRON

There's this project in the works, too.

The uTron(split ergonomic)
-
uTron is a genuine Topre split keyboard and ludicrously expensive. 500+ washingtons for it. For that cost you can buy two Topre keyboards and they're expensive enough!
Worst part is that the uTron is seems rare too, one listing of I've seen on eBay and that sold for 600 USD. Looks like it's nonexistant on Amazon too.
I won't go hoping for a split Topre board anytime soon, the best you can do is just sit and wait.

Theres an (interesting)alternative..
Buy 2 topre numpads, turn them around, change the keymap (software-wise is cheaper), and, well.. Enjoy an somewhat split planck Topre experienxe, with slightly off keycaps
-
The thing is the utron, apart from the symmetric stagger, is that the keys are smaller than normal.

utron is the only solution
good luck finding one though

And have a ton of money, you mean. That price is out of the world for a keyboard whose layout isn't even anywhere near the best.
