buying a new keyboard would be very easy for me if I hadn't gotten used to USB ports being built into them.

That's a feature fee manufacturers build in but damn is it useful.

Kinesis Advantage - mechanical key split keyboard, 2 USB ports in the back. They're updating it, so if you're in no hurry, they'll be releasing an improved version at some point (AFAICT, months, not years, from now). https://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage-for-pc-mac/

I too have a Kinesis Advantage and have had one for years: http://jakeseliger.com/2011/07/17/further-thoughts-on-the-ki.... So far it appears remarkably durable, and I much prefer it over conventional keyboards (though I still use laptop keyboards when I'm traveling).

Really?? Do you know if they'll make it wireless?

I love my Advantage. My only wishes are that it would be wireless and have room for Cmd, Ctrl, and Alt on both sides.

I believe they have not said anything about that yet. You can read a bit about their plans here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36195.0

I have the Advantage. It's awesome.

I didn't know they were updating it though, cool! Got mine a year or so ago.

It's easy and cheap to tuck a small USB hub underneath a tented split keyboard, assuming that's what you want.
