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

A couple of keycaps short, but I’ll move them across from my daily driver (at the top) when the time is right. All soldering is done. I just need to program the firmware. But it’s likely not going to happen until the weekend after next due to other commitments. Can’t wait to try it out though!

Note: the logo didn’t come out quite right, but I’m not going to bother with a reprint as I still don’t know if I’ll like the layout.

Any more info on this project? Github repo, build log, gallery, etc.? I'd like to feature it on kbd.news.

Hey there,

Nothing yet. But I’ll get it all uploaded to git once it’s up and running (however clunky it is). I’ll tag you with a link, but it’ll be at least another week until I get around to the code side of things.

Which keycaps tilters & keycaps do you use?

[–] nydas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The tilters are just ones I found on Thingiverse. Both boards are choc. The caps on the top one are LSDA low profile, while the bottom have MCC POM caps. The thumb clusters on both are using the LSDA thumb keys as they’re nicely angled.
