Being able to have them at various width apart is a real game changer (for me). I love to have them approximately shoulder width apart and it makes typing so much more comfortable and enjoyable. Of course it being columnar staggered instead of traditional row staggered is contributing immensely to that as well. I’d definitely suggest giving it a try. The only possible downside I could think of is when working in specific programs where you use the board one handed and need to reach for keys that are on the other side, but that can be solved by having specific keymap layers.
What’s it like? I just discovered the fascinating blasphemy* that is split keyboards and am curious about trying one out in the near future.
