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

Ploopy BTU Print File
I did alter it a bit, maybe enough to warrant a remix version. I split the model from two to three pieces. I found the distance between the sensor and ball to be very sensitive and a mm would take it from being great to being unusable. Since I used a Kensington ball and not a pool ball, having a third section allowed me to dial in that distance without having to reprint the entire top. It also removed an overhand that would have otherwise needed printing supports.
I'd be interested in seeing the updated model. I did notice that my model was pretty sensitive so I just dialed down the sensitivity in my mouse settings.
