Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at the Cornish Zen recently.
What would be the major differences between keyboards on your site and the CZ? I see they’re both wireless.
Functionally, they're not very different. The CZ has onboard controllers so over all, it's thinners, it has a e-ink display so it burn less battery. The Corne uses separate wireless controller (bluemicro840), so I have to design a case around this controller, thus making the case thicker and less refined than the CZ. It also can use an e-ink screen (the nice!view), but it's not very easy to find, so I stick with OLED screens. My version can accommodate a huge battery so it can last months event with OLED screens.
Cool, thanks for the description! I’m interested in buying a pre built keyboard optimized for traveling. Which configuration would you recommend from your site?
Just checking - they all use QMK or ZMK right?
Yep, wired keyboard uses QMK, wireless uses ZMK.
Optimized for travel, then I'd suggest wireless low profile corne. It's small, light and wireless.
months? how big of a battery are we talking here.
1000mAh, from my personal use, It can last at least 1 month possibly two, but I usually charge it once per 2-3 weeks.
Thx, I am increasingly interested in making a wireless version of my split.
