KLOR is 34 keys split columnar staggered keyboard made by GEIST. I built it with Nice!Nano and without an OLED screen. Been regularly taking it with me to the office.

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

Is this… half of the keyboard? Or do you have a mode switch or something so you type the mirrored key? What kind of WPM can you get? It’s super cool, it hasn’t occurred to me that you could have a one handed keyboard
I'm not OP, and one-haned keyboards definitely exist (I can't remember the name, but I think there's even an 8-key complete layout). However, since they said 34-key split, I'd assume the other half's in the bag, or otherwise offscreen.
Oh, thats just one half of it. But using keymap layout such as Ardux or Taipo allows you to just use one side of the keyboard and still be able to type any characters you want. I'm hovering between 100-120 WPM in the split configuration and qwerty layout.
