I'm gutted; I absolutely love the Sculpt keyboard, especially with the optional slightly inverted slope, it's even more comfortable than previous ergonomic keyboard models. And I've been exclusively using Microsoft ergonomic keyboards for over 20 years, started in my late teens. Tempted to buy a second Sculpt keyboard as a backup for when this keyboard eventually dies, hopefully not for a long, long time!

Similar situation here. I have on occasions seen all sorts of crazy looking split keyboards around the internet. They've looked interesting, but pricey, I can't touch them, and the MS ergo keyboards have served me well so I've not taken it any further. This will be what makes me take it further, maybe some interesting keycaps (maybe black!)

Logitech discontinuing their ergonomic keyboards is what drove me to build a mechanical split keyboard.

I love the sculpt keyboard, however the function keys are tiny and frustrating (I use them quite a bit for maya) when some of the keys stopped working on it, I upgraded to the surface ergonomic keyboard which has a similar shape and built in numpad and took the riser that goes under the initial ergonimic keyboard and with the help of some velcro tape...
it's bigger on my desk which I dont love but I DO use the numpad and the F keys are much more usable, (I did create a cover for the FN key and the power off button to avoid hitting them by accident though)
