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

Chouchou (Japanese for butterfly) is a minimalist unibody keyboard designed to be used with the Taipo layout.
It uses a cheap RP2040-Zero MCU and requires no diodes since the 20 edge pinouts it provides is the exact number of keys Taipo requires. It was created with Ergogen and KiCad.
Wow. That look a so effortless lol. I like the concept of the alternation but that's a big thing to jump into. Especially since I'm in between layouts rn, so I'm not quick at typing anything atm lol
