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 some more question about building dactyl manuform (self.ergomechkeyboards)

I have received a 3d printed dactyl manuform, and i have realized that most of parts used to hold the kailh hotswap socket is broken. So I want to know which glue is safe for plastic ( it will not melt the plastic ) and can be strong enough to prevent the socket from fly away from the case.
Can I use Type-C USB 3-18V adruino instead of Pro Micro USB adruino? Because as what I can see, the specs of two adruinos written on the chip are nearly the same:

(-) Pro Micro USB adruino: ATMEGA32U4; -MU; 2147E; 2147YHE PH

(-) Type-C USB 3-18V: ATMEGA32U4; -MU; 2216E; 2216QG7 PH

Elite-C is not available in my country, so the shipping cost will be really expensive. I'm looking for cheaper option

Ah fair enough, I always forget about supply concerns
