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

I think about this board any time I'm considering using screens in a build. the OLEDs are in such a great spot!

Thank you, I take that as a compliment!

After daily driving this kb for more than a year, I can safely say that I am very happy with the placement. I don't look at the screens often, but from time to time I do and in those cases I am always quite grateful for having them. Most of the time they just look nice though...

Feel free to expand on the idea! It's always exciting to see how this community iterates on each others creations, all the more flattering when my humble contribution can serve as an inspiration for something new!

Very cool, love to see the novel designs coming out.

That is super clean looking! Great work!

Thanks, it speaks more for the photo than for the kb. The print was the cheapest I could get and even for that the quality is questionable! But it's functional...and I am planning v2.0, the idea is to either go MJF or SLS, so it should look a bit better.
