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

Built this around December/January as a lighter dactyl manuform (the normal dactyl is a 17h print and at the time my 3d printer wasnt reliable enough)

Switches are Gazzews Boba U4. Keycaps are no-name XDA "EVA-02" PBT caps.

I didn't make it! It's from a japanese dude. This is the project: https://github.com/atsuyuki/dactyl-manuform-skeleton-edition-4x5 This is the build guide (in japanese, but DeepL helped me): https://www.creativity-ape.com/entry/2021/06/18/121519

Despite my love for it, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. It requires non-standard screws that were a pain to source and the project file itself is mostly hand-edited STLs from the generated OpenSCAD project, so you can't just regenerate the files. If someone actually wants to go for it though, I'd be glad to give out the aliexpress stores I used for the hard to source bits and things like that!
