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

Velcro stickers and rubber feet from the 1-Euro store, and the handle of an old toilet plunger.

I had to flatten the plunger handle on one side to make more of the velcro stickers connect.

With tenting I really would like to have more aggressive staggering for the pinky column though.

I went with fixing bits of Fishertechnik cladding plate to the bottom plate of my Lily58, and I'm working with plus pegs and other bits to find the ideal height.
