Sometimes the initial reaction to photos of a piece of kit can be misleading, so in an effort to be as objective as possible, I do my damndest not to baulk at an iffy-looking object before I&#8217;ve got the chance to get my hands on one myself.<\/p>\n<p>So when I found photos of this split ergonomic keyboard this morning, I stayed calm (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2528593\/this-549-all-wood-split-ergonomic-keyboard-is-hardcore-cottagecore.html\" target=\"_blank\">PC World<\/a>). Perhaps it&#8217;s just me, I thought. I&#8217;ll post it in the PC Gamer hardware team chat, and see if perhaps others might coo over it with desire.<\/p>\n<p>After all, I can be a crotchety beast in the mornings, so perhaps my initial reaction wasn&#8217;t the best take.<\/p>\n<p>Nope, we&#8217;re not fans. There was one dissenting voice among the team, my esteemed colleague Nick Evanson, a man who&#8217;s tested more ergonomic keyboards than you can count. &#8220;I want it,&#8221; said Nick. &#8220;I hate it, but I want it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A controversial-looking object, then. Anyway, it&#8217;s called the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/epomaker.com\/products\/epomaker-x-feker-alice-60-wood?variant=48303017296180\" target=\"_blank\">Epomaker x Feker Alice 60<\/a> (I really wish I was joking), and the chassis and keycaps are made entirely of, you guessed it, wood. Which wood remains unclear from the product description, so tree-enthusiasts, feel free to write in. Still, according to the listing, there are some genuine benefits to using the most natural of materials to build a modern keeb.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just like concert halls that naturally reflect sounds better, a wooden keyboard naturally dampens sound, which can make typing on a wooden keyboard quieter compared to other materials.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The soft thud and muted clack of wooden keycaps and cases are pleasing to the ear, especially in a quiet environment. Aesthetically, wood brings a touch of nature and craftsmanship to your workspace, creating a more inviting and personalized area.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blimey. I can buy that it&#8217;s got a muted clack, as wood can be quite a naturally sound-dampened material, although whether it&#8217;s inviting is a matter of personal taste. There&#8217;s something of an &#8220;ick&#8221; factor to the idea of typing on wooden keycaps that I can&#8217;t quite get past, but that&#8217;s probably another unfair early judgement.<\/p>\n<p>Ergo-feature-wise, it can be split into two halves and has a detachable numpad. Personally, I&#8217;ve never really been able to get on with the idea of having half a keyboard for each hand, but fans of the form factor (like dear Nick) espouse the benefits on the regular, so there must be something to it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Perfect peripherals<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"czbNLcab5b3bWpSup92ZRH\" name=\"colorwave-logitech-g703.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/i-cant-decide-if-i-love-or-hate-the-look-of-this-wooden-split-ergonomic-keyboard-no-no-its-the-latter.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Colorwave)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-gaming-mouse\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming mouse<\/strong><\/a>: the top rodents for gaming<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-keyboard\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming keyboard<\/strong><\/a>: your PC&#8217;s best friend&#8230;<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-headset\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming headset<\/strong><\/a>: don&#8217;t ignore in-game audio<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s also got USB Type-C wired, and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, so plenty of modern options there.
