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

Looks awesome! I like how you designed the pinky cluster! I don't think I've seen that before on a board with 6 columns
there is another one that does something similar but that is not open source as far as I can tell: https://github.com/sprengboard/choccy
You might also like the Steel Tormentor. There are some really nice write ups about the process, too.
