Cheaper Split Layout - Lemmy.world

Heyo I want to switch to a split keyboard setup, but I really don’t want to spend $400 only to end up hating it. Are there any cheaper options that I can get as a temporary board while deciding?

One of thr cheapest option might be building a cheapino. It should be around 50-70$ all in all. Though it's completely DIY. You'd have to order the PCBs and all the other stuff yourself and build it.
If you don't want to or cannot do that, there are already a lot of good options in the other comments.
