I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.

Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?

I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.

    Accessibility. Most people can use things as they are. A limited amount of people need accommodations.

    Your analogy is extreme. It is more like asking for a diet that can accomodate my desire to keep eating a cookie once a week.

        You are moving the context away from a request asking if a keyboard with middle keys exist. I am not trying to push this keyboard on you. Why are you being hostile?

          Accessibility is about fixing the issues firstly, and then accommodating them. If you can’t fix it, than you accommodate it. In both of your examples neither of them are anywhere near to fixing nor accommodating an accessibility issue. Both are just things that should never be done.

          And wanting to type incorrectly isn’t an accessibility thing for that matter anyways.

          And was calling out your example for being facetious for its own reasons. You were just as hostile to the person you responded to. If you want to give it, accept it too mate.

            I think you cohld benefit from looking at accessibility features around our society. People should be able to walk normally, why make a wheelchair?

            I have no hostility in my intent.

              Accessibility features are for people with disabilities, not people who just want to do stuff incorrectly.

              People should be able to walk correctly yeah, but you’re asking for a wheelchair with 4x4 while being able to walk.

              Two completely different things and you brining up accessibility is quite frankly insulting to people with real issues.

                I see your point. It makes sense, but is framed as a “don’t be stupid just do it how we do”.

                Not helpful.

                Accessibility is about giving people access disabilities or not.

                  Bad typing will lead to other issues, the best thing you can do is fix the issues.

                  Accessibility is about fixing the issues before accommodating them. Your request and subsequent explanations for why is an insult to people with legitimate issues.

                    My request for accommodations is an insult to people who need accommodations?

                    I hear your words, but you do not hear mine.
