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 built this after borrowing a Preonic and slowly reducing the keymap to a 34 key layout. Touch typing actually feels good on it compared to row staggered boards.

I'm looking now to what I will do next, I'm still stoked with it after four months usage. As an excuse to try more designs I will probably build a 34 key dactyl manuform for home.

Without building anything you could try to learn the miryoku layout, it works really well on 34-keys keyboards.

That was my process to get to the sweep :)

I was borrowing a preonic and slowly reduced the keymap until I was down to 34 keys
