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

Velcro stickers and rubber feet from the 1-Euro store, and the handle of an old toilet plunger.

I had to flatten the plunger handle on one side to make more of the velcro stickers connect.

With tenting I really would like to have more aggressive staggering for the pinky column though.

Update: the velcro tape is also really good for sticking them to smartphone holders.

Fun solution!

I went with fixing bits of Fishertechnik cladding plate to the bottom plate of my Lily58, and I'm working with plus pegs and other bits to find the ideal height.

Simple, but effective

May I ask what caps those are?

That's a really cool and funny solution :D

Very nice. I just ordered some small tetrahedral-shaped beanbags from Etsy.
