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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

I think about this board any time I'm considering using screens in a build. the OLEDs are in such a great spot!

Thank you, I take that as a compliment!

After daily driving this kb for more than a year, I can safely say that I am very happy with the placement. I don't look at the screens often, but from time to time I do and in those cases I am always quite grateful for having them. Most of the time they just look nice though...

Feel free to expand on the idea! It's always exciting to see how this community iterates on each others creations, all the more flattering when my humble contribution can serve as an inspiration for something new!
