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

Have been working my way through FlatFootFox’s Let’s Design a Keyboard with Ergogen tutorial – this is just the first iteration

  • number of keys of a Corne, aesthetics of Splaytaroid, less aggressive splay than A. dux
  • next big challenge is dealing with the firmware
  • deciding whether I want to keep it split or go monoblock (Reviung41 or Splaytaroid)
  • following iterations with work with implementing the fancy features – switch plate, bottom plate, case of some sort, RGB, OLED

Ergogen is so good 👌 Writing the firmware is surprisingly easy thanks to zmk / qmk :) Fingers crossed for the future work!

so far I’m kinda in shock at how easy the whole process has been going – was expecting a lot more issues along the way
