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

I’ve been slowly accumulating knowledge to build my own custom keyboard.

In order to do that I wanted to use some other people’s designs. In the process I made a 3D printable case for my first ergo mech keyboard.

This case is for the standard Sofle 2.1 Choc with nice nano controllers and nice view displays, setup as fully wireless.

I’ve not managed to get the right encoder to play nice yet, I suppose that’s part of the fun.

In any case, I hope someone may also find this case useful either as is or a basis for something better.

They’re the “MBK Legend‡ Glow R2 Black Keycap Set”.
