Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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.
It's based on miryoku with some keys shuffled around, but basically home row mods and layer switches. Holding F and J enables symbol layers on the opposite hand, hold S for a numeric layer, hold D for navigation etc.
It does need some work for a handful of awkward cases, but the basic idea is solid and typing/programming works well.
