ErgoMechKeyboards
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'm waiting for this guy to come back in stock. The KA360 and Glove80 are also mega premium, imo.
I ordered the keyball39 during the last batch! But tbh I wouldn't say it's a premium emk.
Darn! Could you share your thoughts on it?
I haven't received it yet, I'll make a post with more thoughts when I built it 🙂
But for me a premium keyboard should have an aluminum and/or a very well designed case. Whereas the Keyball boards uses a "simple" acrylic sandwich case. The trackball housing looks very well thought out tho.
Do you know if the maker has a twitter or something so we can keep up to date with it?
This is the maker's twitter account, he regularly updates when new stock is coming (in Japanese).
Thank you!
