I wish there more "cool" split keyboard options out there.
I can't type on an inline keyboard like this without wrist issues for any significant amount of time.

If you're handy with a soldering iron or want to learn, there's also a huge variety of DIY split keyboards. For general research, the ErgoMechKeyboards subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/) has plenty of info.
A short list of possible fun ones, though links are results from quick google searches. There are generally plenty of kits/variants/versions for each of these and this is not an exhaustive list, nor an endorsement for any vendors/sellers.
