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 am looking for a low profile keyboard compatible with the choc switches. I plan to put the choc sunset on it. I was looking for something similar to the Corne, just without the ergo-split thing. A standard 65-75% would work.

Bonus for hot swappable and no soldering required.

How much like the corne do you want it to be?

Like, one piece but with a small separation in the left/right sides?

Like a normal keyboard but split?

Some other thing entirely?

Also, how DIY do you want to get?

As long as no soldering is required I am up for everything

Sadly, I don't think there are any choc boards that fit your requirements. Not many choc boards over 40% and the ones that exist will require soldering of some sort.
