On April 17, 2023, Canada-based keyboard brand work louder®︎ mentioned split keyboards on its official Twitter account.
Hey @work_louder, can you look into a split, wireless keyboard for mac? I think there is a huge market for this (devs using apple).

I want to use a thin, aesthetic, wireless keyboard (like the apple keyboard) but also split for ergonomics. Nothing like this exists!
The trigger was this question from a user.
used after the name of someone who is an older sister figure
@work_louder, could you look into a segmented wireless keyboard for Mac? I think there is a huge market for this (developers using Apple). I would like to use a thin and beautiful wireless keyboard (like the Apple keyboard) that is also ergonomically segmented. Nothing like this exists!!!

The official account responded as follows
Oh don’t you worry we haven’t forgotten about you guys😉

このように、「分割キーボードをリリースするよ！」とまでは行かないものの、匂わせるような反応が見られました。
いかにも英語圏らしいリアクションですね。
Kawamuraこういうの大好きです。
work louderは、choc v1に対応してロープロファイルメカニカルキーボードのキーキャップを発売している数少ないブランドの一つとなっています。
分割キーボードに関しては、自作キーボード且つロープロファイル設計が好まれる傾向が強いため、海外ではwork Buildキーキャップが利用されるケースが多く見られています。
Probably one of the nicest split builds I’ve seen😳 #customkeyboard pic.twitter.com/eKECELHseM

他には、Chosfoxなどが挙げられますね。
DoysやNuPhyに関しては、MX互換のロープロファイルキーキャップを販売していることで知られており、4月末にリリースが噂されている「The Nomad Model-E」に関してはMX互換キーキャップとなっています。
これについてもwork louderから交換用キーキャップが個別販売となる可能性が非常に高いため、work louderに関してはロープロファイル界隈で光る存在となるのではないでしょうか。
これで公式に分割キーボードがリリースされれば、瞬く間に人気となるでしょう。
