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

A few weeks ago I asked for right hand game-pad (for left handed mouse users) ideas. Thanks to @hazel@keeb.lol for recommending the Eternal Keypad. The price was right so I built one up. Only a few hours of use so far, but I like the form factor a lot. Running Gateron blacks. I know my caps aren't the correct size. I'm working on locking in the layout before I order some.

I built my GF one, cause she's left-handed and I couldn't look at her cramped up right hand on a normal keyboard anymore. I really like it!

I was about to ask wtf kind of layout this is before I realized it's just the gamer keys mirrored. Great idea
