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

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at the Cornish Zen recently.

What would be the major differences between keyboards on your site and the CZ? I see they’re both wireless.

Functionally, they're not very different. The CZ has onboard controllers so over all, it's thinners, it has a e-ink display so it burn less battery. The Corne uses separate wireless controller (bluemicro840), so I have to design a case around this controller, thus making the case thicker and less refined than the CZ. It also can use an e-ink screen (the nice!view), but it's not very easy to find, so I stick with OLED screens. My version can accommodate a huge battery so it can last months event with OLED screens.

months? how big of a battery are we talking here.

[–] ergomechstore 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1000mAh, from my personal use, It can last at least 1 month possibly two, but I usually charge it once per 2-3 weeks.

Thx, I am increasingly interested in making a wireless version of my split.
