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 built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn't able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn't impact my typing at all, so I've left it alone.

I think next time, I'll want some kind of case for it, I'm currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

It looks like your reset buttons are escaping. I really want to see the cardboard case. Embrace the jankyness!

It's just a piece of cardboard that I taped it to. I've since replaced the floral washi tape with something more neutral hahaha.
