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

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.
I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.
Is this keyboard wireless? If not I couldn’t imagine using it because the wires would sit in your lap
It isn't wireless. I'm not sure how the wires would end up in your lap when the keyboard is on your desk.
Because the wire on the trackpad is facing the user
Oh no, the red cable is actually facing away from you when using it. I guess I shouldn't have taken these pictures at these angles 😅
That makes a lot more sense, I thought the pad was for your left thumb lol
I think they said that because the wires seem to be going toward the user instead of away like a typical keyboard. Edit... Unless you're supposed to use it the other way and turn your hands out instead of in.
It's a split keyboard so you can rotate the two halves and put them further apart as you like. I noticed there was some confusion about how the keyboard should be orientated 😅
I commented another picture with how it would sit on the desk.
I can’t imagine using it period lmao how do you even put your hands on it? Like this? 👐
They're two separate halves, when using it you'll put them further apart from each other..
