What’s a good and cheap tenting solution for split keyboards? I currently use rubber stands but I can’t get the angle high enough for my liking.

    I used books to put board over, quite adjustable, though not the best.

    If it’s cheap enough to you, the z-tripod is only 25$ (you’ll need two). You could find even cheaper version were you just put the keyboard on it and rely on gravity to keep it from moving.

    To give you an idea, manfrotto pocket tripod + magsafe adapter+magsafe rings is about 120€ (about the same in $ I would guess). To me that starts to qualify as expensive.

    A very cheap version if you have a 3d printer (or a friend who owns one) would be to design your monoblock stand like this https://www.printables.com/model/311468-corne-tilt. There is the option to print legs too (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/corne-keyboard-tenting-mod). Jlcpcb or other manufacturers can print them for you (but mind the shipping and taxes).
