... plus figured out the basics of qmk. Will need to get it up and running with full miryoku though as this is what i use on ALL my keyboards. So if anyone can tell how i now get the full miryoku on I'd be super happy to give it a try.

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've seen a lot of cheapinos lately. Is it just a new board? Why this over a sweep or a corne? Just curious if you know why they've been popping up so much lately
Because they are really cheap to build. Mine was about $50 USD total. Really nice way to get into ergonomic keyboards.
Are they any cheaper than a ferris sweep or a corne though? Aren't they all open source boards?
They use cheaper parts from when I was pricing things out.
Fair enough. Glad it's a cheaper option for folks!
