I type with the keyboard on my lap so a split design didn't work for me, hence creating this handwired contraption.
I use the Dvorak layout and have two alternate layers. In the number layer, the top row is punctuation, home row is numbers, and bottom row spilling into the thumb cluster is F keys). The other utility layer has mouse keys and media control.
Keyswitches: Box Navy
Caps: Polycarbonate DCS alphas R1-R3-R4, DSA R3 for the tall thumb caps, G20 for the low thumb caps.
A Kensington M01181 I picked up used for $5 at an electronics recycler. It's been my daily driver for about 7(?) years now, although do also use a half-dozen other keyboards. All from the same recycler, except for a wireless mini keyboard I use on my electronics workbench.
Kinesis Advantage with brown switches. Some of the switches are starting to double input, and sometimes a modifier key gets stuck. Can't complain though, it's about to turn 18 years old soon.
Keychron K3 Pro, red switches, RGB, stock keycaps. I find low-profile more comfortable for my hands but has enough key travel it feels right. It's close enough to the MacBook layout that it isn't too hard to switch back and forth when I'm out with the laptop.
Mitosis Anaphase, a handwired sandwich design based on the Mitosis keyboard.

A Goldtouch KFK-E88YB which is a split keyboard with adjustable angle. Made around the year 2003.
I strongly prefer it over a flat keyboard, I have each side at about a 23 degree angle to the desk.
I'v worn the bumps off the F and J keys, which I need to get my fingers in position without looking down.

Home made Corne. Have many of them including low profile BT one. All of them 5 columns per side.
Home: Das Keyboard 4 Utimate (Cherry MX brown, unlabeled keys)
Work: Many and I could change them all every day if I wanted to (ewaste recycling company), but main work desktop has a Royal Kludge S108 Typewriter.
Kinesis Advantage360 Pro (ZMK). Not my favourite of all time, but it did help me immensely with wrist pain
I’ve been using a WASD Code edition with brown switches for many years now without any complaints.
My current daily driver is a Logitech MX Keys. I don't love it honestly but it's not bad.
Das Keyboard 4 Professional - Cherry MX2 Blue Switches
Cornix LP
keychron K3 Pro, low profile brown gateron switches
ErgoDox EZ with brown switches. It took a (long) while to get used to, but far more comfortable to type on long-term IMO
I also use a Kensington trackball mouse
