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!
Perfectly understandable. :)
You say that it is possible to use Amoeba-PCBs in the Flow-MX36. Have you wired yours using them? I wonder if there is enough space, especially in the thumb cluster and innermost columns. If I ever stop procrastinating and try to build it, I would like to use Amoeba Kings with it.
I built it using amoeba royales. It's certainly tight. I modeled the amoebas plus components and had a cutter to create the necessary space, so that part was pretty easy. The tightest key is the bottom row on the left most column (for the right side case with trackball). It fits but needs a little jiggling.
Thank you for the info!
