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

Firstly, I went to the old Subreddit and the last post is over 2 weeks ago. This community must be one of the first to totally abandon Reddit.

Secondly, to the point, I would love a premium ergo board, like the cornish zen. I see that Boardsource has an aluminum Lulu but its got about 20 keys too many for me. I'm currently using a Corne with 36 keys.

What are others thinking about premium boards? Or asked another way, what keyboards are you dreaming about today?

I'm waiting for this guy to come back in stock. The KA360 and Glove80 are also mega premium, imo.

I ordered the keyball39 during the last batch! But tbh I wouldn't say it's a premium emk.

Darn! Could you share your thoughts on it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't received it yet, I'll make a post with more thoughts when I built it 🙂

But for me a premium keyboard should have an aluminum and/or a very well designed case. Whereas the Keyball boards uses a "simple" acrylic sandwich case. The trackball housing looks very well thought out tho.

Do you know if the maker has a twitter or something so we can keep up to date with it?

This is the maker's twitter account, he regularly updates when new stock is coming (in Japanese).
