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

Hi folks, I've been working on this keyboard pretty much since January of this year, and I've finally got it to the point that I can call it done! If you'd like to build one, all files are available here.
This is an MX-based keyboard, 36 keys with integrated trackball. The github page has a bunch more details. I also have a choc version in dev using the same style that's based off the Trinidox.
Let me know what you think!
I was pretty blown away the first time I used a split with integrated trackball. I've since been on a mission to get a trackball on all my keyboards 😎
That's awesome. I'm currently in the process of designing the PCB for the 40% ortho I've been working on. Once I'm done with this one I'm definitely going to build a split, maybe I'll have to build one of yours because the more I look at it the more I like it lol.
Nice... I'd really like to tackle a PCB design. I've been playing with the idea of make a flex PCB for the flow series, but I have too many projects already, hehe. Looking forward to seeing your project!
