I’m looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.
Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.

I took a gamble on the Moonlander by zsa. It’s expensive but a really nice keyboard and instantly helped wrist aches and pains from long days developing.
There are alternatives that are cheaper, and even DIY ones which are cool too - but if you want a prebuilt split ergo I highly recommend it.
Took me roughly 1-2 days heavy use to get used to it and I’ve never looked back - I’m a huge fan of the ortholinear (technically columnar on moonlander) layout, it really does make natural sense imo with less finger movements laterally at awkward angles.
Happy to answer any Qs

I would recommend the Kinesis Advantage. It doesn’t use cherry switches IIRC, but they’re similar.
The Advantage 2 looks pretty good; bit pricey though I expected as much. Thank you!
Not pretty, but Kenesis (sp?) is the winner. Tried many available options through work, stuck with their design for years now.
Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see
I’m a big fan of my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, had one since the original crowdfunding campaign. I think 5 or 6 years now.
Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.
I’ve never had a problem with that, there are some pretty tacky rubber feet on the bottom
