Affordable mechanical ergonomic keyboard

Does anyone know of a mechanical ergonomic keyboard that didn't cost over $200? 

 

EDIT: I mean something like the keyboards in the attached images

Plenty, like the Strafe and K70. Which switches?

No I meant something like this or this. In what sense are the strafe or K70 ergonomic keyboards?

Oh, you mean "ergonomically designed." Load of snake oil imo, but you're right they're just the standard layout.

Well I wanted to try but most of them are too costly. TBH the main thing I'd want is a more compact desing cause I have difficulty pressing some keys without reaching too much

tbh, ergonomic keyboards are more marketing flac than actual aid.

 

having a propper desk setup will help ergonomics by that much more these keyboard pretty much have no reason to exist...

A colleague of mine used a Toshiba ergonomic keyboard. It was rubber-dome, though.

This is my area of expertise. 

Matias ergo pro $200 is the cheapest.

I got a used apple adjustable keyboard I love, mechanical, and am making a new ergonomic mechanical keyboard.
