Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

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

I built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn't able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn't impact my typing at all, so I've left it alone.

I think next time, I'll want some kind of case for it, I'm currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

I actually had originally intended to use the 5 pin switches, but the PCB I ordered only had holes for 3 pin. Fortunately, I had extras. I guess I should've used a case?

Yes, propably. Or i think something like this would work fine as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5192069
