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 bought it on etsy.com after last Christmas and right now I fill very comfortable. First several months I played with configuration and different layouts and learn blind typing as well. My final config could be found here. The base layout is Colemak-dh, second one is for numbers and arrows. Third one is for special characters and final layout for mouse movements. It is vial compatible and I use macros, combos and tap dancing intensively. Also I use modifiers as holding keys, but above home row, as it speed up my taping and I produce less errors.

Very nice and looks well loved.

Just finished one for myself this week. I may have to try this layout!
