Oh, that is glorious.
ErgoMechKeyboards
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

The real question is… is it backlit? It shouldn’t be, unless you make it square and gave it a hinge in the middle to fold.
You really squeezed a lot of stuff in that cart. It looks amazing!
There's nothing quite like seeing a nicely spaced out PCB in KiCAD, only to have the real thing show up in the mail and show you just how close 0.5mm pins with a 0.5mm pitch really are. I'm really happy with how it all came together in the end though!
That looks god damn fantastic
You did an incredible job color matching the fillament to the keycaps!
This is fun. Nice job!
I love it! It looks so delightfully 90's
based based based i love this keyboard and your site too
This is really impressive. Great write up also, was cool to read through your process. One question though - what filament is that? I have been looking at those FK custom keycard, but the matching case really takes it to the next level.
Thanks! It’s Inland’s Purple PLA. https://a.co/d/8ImXXVE Ironically I had a spool of it from a year or two ago. It just happened to match the keycaps well.
Appreciate it!
