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 have a few keyboards I use regularly but this is my current favorite. KLOR by GEIST, KS-27 version and case by Sadek Baroudi. The keycaps are my own design and printed in resin on my Photon Mono 4k. More info about the keycap profile soon 😉

Trackball is an Elecom Deft Pro, with the bearings replaced with ZrO2 bearings (easy mod, took 10 minutes and cost less than $10). The size and shape is perfect for my hands, it has lots of buttons, and the battery lasts for months. I wish it had a scroll ring instead of or in addition to the scroll wheel, but aside from that it's near perfect.
