Its a slippery slope if youre just getting into split boards lol.
This is my second one. And my 34 key one is going to be here tomorrow.

Is there a good entry level (err don't break the bank) split keyboard to trial to see if I'd like using one or not?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C88V7LQK?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_FD3QQJJHN82RWNAJY615&language=en_US Found a Reddit thread that recommended this one. The unfortunate thing is most of the time split boards end up being a “build it yourself” type of thing, or more on the expensive side for prebuilt. My first one was that top keyboard in my second picture. I bought it prebuilt from https://keebmaker.com The good thing about the Amazon one is it still keeps the traditional stagger to the keys which will help with the learning curve. If you get more into it, you'll find most come with stacked columns which adds a level of learning, but ends up being a more natural hand position to use.
