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 appreciate the detailed response! Once I started looking at the guide, I realized I might be looking at the deep end of the custom KB pool... I might take a swing at a custom accessory KB before attempting one like this!
Fair enough! Like I said in my previous reply, my first venture into the world of custom or ortho boards was the Ergodox infinity, which I got as a kit on Massdrop. I didn't have to deal with getting all the little bits like controllers or displays. Everything was included and compatible, which made it really approachable - plus I didn't do any leds. I definitely felt like I was in over my head at times with the corne, but it was fairly straightforward in the end and I'm really happy with it.
