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

Many of you likely know me as “The Handwiring Guy” but this is my first PCB keyboard of my own design. The Scotto34 (PCB Edition) is a low-profile 34-key split monoblock ortholinear keyboard that uses 18x17mm spaced Choc switches, hotswap capabilities, and an exposed controller in the middle. I have a video coming out today at 12PM (EST) on my channel talking about the board and how to build it. It will have some really nice close-up macro shots that I can’t wait for people to see!

In addition, this board is my announcement that I’m working on a series of videos covering mechanical keyboard PCB design from start to finish. I’m estimating it will be 6 episodes in total and cover the entire process from the core concepts up to ordering the final PCBs. The plan is to release the entire series at once and each video will be 2-10 minutes long, depending on the topic.

Anyway, when I share my boards, I like to share a few things:

  1. I make videos on these boards.
  2. All the handwired boards I design are released completely for free. The PCB boards are available for sale on my website: scottokeebs.com.
  3. You can keep up to date on the project or support me at scottokeebs.com.
  4. I have a Discord server that is super helpful for all things related to keebs.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
