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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

I built this and one other (black and red) with a different thumb cluster in 2021. Not sure if Dactyl Manuform is still "hip" but this has been my daily driver for two years now and I don't really want to type on anything else!

Dactyl was your first ergo mech? That’s hardcore!

Funny, it reminds me of one I built in 2022:

Great minds think alike

That’s really cool looking

Do you find yourself using the thumb clusters much? They look like they would be too far for my hands

Your wrist rests kinda remind me of the rangers brooches from Babylon 5!
