That's also fair, there's definitely more practical design concepts for ergo boards however personal preference and appearance are MASSIVE things in most hobbies, I personally think staggered splits look gorgeous and boards similar to the moonlander are quite ugly in appearance relatively but ultimately can appreciate any design of a custom-made keyboard. Angling isn't an issue for me but that can probably factor down to a many multitude of reasons due to height/desk height/distance

Hi, I personally have a staggered split as my first custom keyboard that my bf got me and the appeal at the time was more desk/mouse space, being able to configure a profile for gaming that essentially just lets you use all of the inputs you need on a 30-40% however also being able to just have a regular 60-80% keyboard that you can put back together at anytime for anything other than just gaming.

There's alot more practical concepts for this but I feel as if this retains the fundamental design of a keyboard and its simplicity.

I don't have too weird of an angle when using it whilst gaming however-so I still own a wrist rest for such... which helps tremendously when sitting at an unsuitable height for when I'm not at home.

if it's any consolation; I prefer it to my actual 40% or a full-size as of any matter. idk if this is the answer you was looking for lol but this is just my experience with a split staggered.
