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

Hi, I'm looking for flexible PCBs compatible with the 5x7 Dactyl Manuform (Carbonfet variant). Does anyone know if any are available online? Thanks!

Do Oshpark’s custom sizes help?

As in 5 rows 7 columns? My flexible pcbs can be linked together for infinity columns.

Thanks so much for the reply!

It looks like I would need to buy three 5x6 PCBs to cover two 5x7 Dactyl Manuforms. I noticed that you have two units of the 5x6 Wired remaining so I'll have to wait until there's a restock. Any estimates on when? Thanks!

Wired I can do more of. Just order two I have spares for the extras I'll gladly just include. The actual cost in time is minimal for the extras.
