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

So I have tried to play around with joystick's algorithms a little bit and made QMK PR in the end.

I haven't started experimenting around with the code for joysticks but am in the middle of making a keyboard (half) with a joystick. Did you find it worked ok just for acting as keyboard keys/combinations of keys?

I see under the 'Accelerated' portion where you tried to emulate mouse keys there weren't really any results?

Hi, I have only tried using joystick as mouse and improve that. While doing this I found one suggestion how to do what you are looking for here: https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/vgo39f/qmk_simple_question_is_it_possible_to_use/

You might find this interesting as well: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_pointing_device.md#advanced-drag-scroll

BTW, are you creating custom keyboard (your own) or you just chosen something with joystick?

Thank you! I've saved your comment for future use :)
