what's the desktop split keyboard meta? i'm looking for something that runs qmk (or can otherwise be easily configured), tactile key switches, usb is fine i don't need  and like preferred budget is $100
and uhh qwerty-like layout because i'm not cool enough for any turbo hacker layouts

@haskal from marie:
budget split keyboards are hard because you're asking for two budget keyboards at $50 each, the pickings are pretty slim. the rgbkb phobos (which is what she has) is $70 for the pcb so if you have switches you already like and a 3d printer you can probably do that. I do know there's a $100 split board on amazon (the rk royal kudge) but i cannot say anything about the build quality, only that it's there.
