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

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

Thanks! This was actually the only keycaps set I had laying around that wasn't in use 😄 But I'm a Colemak user myself, so 90% of the caps usually don't match my layout anyway and I never look at the keys. That said, I'm thinking about replacing the caps with a uniform XDA set (the current set is NP-profile) with labels.

I do have multiple keyboards, but I'll try this one out for gaming, since it has a num row which most of my other boards haven't.

I've been re-exploring these split keyboards... Thanks for replying . How are you liking this?

Is there anything you would change?

How is your typing speed? I'm a fast typer and type a lot everyday.. less a gamer but something like this would also be fun to build and program.

I still think this is one of the cooler ones that I have seen! 👍 Good job!
