It depends on what you need. A split keyboard is probably what comes close to the MS ergo. Somethink like a Moonlander https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ or the Iris https://keeb.io/...
But take a look at https://jhelvy.shinyapps.io/splitkbcompare/ - there you can compare and print layout of different spli keyboards and test before you buy.
Check out fingerpunch.xyz. The Rock On v3 might be a good fit for you. Or the FoldKB by keebio

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

Sorry, first ever post to kbin. I'd like to replace my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've used this keyboard for like 15 years, buying a new one every few years or so.
Can anyone recommend something to start with? I am so overwhelmed by ergo-mechs. My reason is my hands hurt, and it seems like y'all have found a better keyboard. Thank you so much, apologies again, this is my first post so obvs I don't know what I'm doing.
