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

Hey folks, I'm toying with the thought of a portable, wireless/BLE, 34 key split kbd. Most builds that I've looked at hide the battery. Questions:

  • Do you mount the batteries? If so, where? Examples?
  • Does it in any way impact the portability?
  • Are there any other notable differences (in comparison to a wired board) one should be aware of?

Searching for LIR2450 lead me to coin battery holder with on/off switch. I haven't seen a build with coin battery holders like this yet. I'm more curious now.

Thanks for the reply.
