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

MODERATORS
I’ve got one of those on my list
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?
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).
Thank you!
What about something like the mini36 by controllerworks?
Holy shit that's beautiful. Do you have one?
I've got one from the first batch and it's great.
Have you shared pics of it before? I’d like to see
here's a picture I took after getting it
It's a great board but sadly it's just been sitting on a shelf. I need a more aggressive stagger on the pinky.
My universe for an aluminum Swoop case...
Did the short trrs cable come with it?
no, it came with a longer one. This is some cheap one I found on aliexpress
Oh I dig it! How aggressive of a pinky stagger are you looking for? I’m currently using a chocofi but was thinking about grabbing one of those for work.
I like the pinky dropped .75U. I ended up designing my own keyboard to better for my needs.
Oh man, you made my wallet cry! I think this may be what I was looking for!
A no expense spared board board for me would be a skeletyl from bastardkb, maybe when in a metal printed case.
Right now i have a Lagrange which is very nice, but i don't use all the (70) keys on my Lagrange so a 36 would maybe for me better.
If i was in the market for a flat board, then maybe one with a trackpad like the dilemma, but I'm very happy with my zilpzalp as a portable "throw in bag" laptop keyboard.
