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

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

That’s tight! What kind of switches are those? The new cherry ultra low profile?

These are the Kailh XSwitch. I haven't tried the new cherry ulp yet.

This is such a cool project 😍 Have you ever tried getting / gotten your hands on Cherry ULP switches?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't yet. I'm sure I'll eventually get some, but not in a hurry to do so until keycaps are easier to get ahold of. afaik, there are a few 3d printed caps but I don't think my printer could do them.

Yeah, I've heard that caps are a hassle so I've also been holding off :D I kinda hoped you'd know something hehe
