I built this and one other (black and red) with a different thumb cluster in 2021. Not sure if Dactyl Manuform is still "hip" but this has been my daily driver for two years now and I don't really want to type on anything else!

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 love it!
I don’t know if you printed the case or not, but the print looks awesome!
Thank you, sir - I did print it, and thank you. I had to buy, tune, and learn how to 3d print as a prereq for the project, and since then have printed a lot of stuff... but the DM shells are by far the longest prints.
