ErgoMechKeyboards
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

The board wasn't recognised at all. I was only trying to use it wired, before trying bluetooth. But after sleeping on it, I realised the controllers are meant to be installed upside down. So I fixed that and now it's working great! In fact, I just typed this comment on it. Quite slowly for the moment, though...
Nice! How much of a pain was it to fix the controller orientation?
Not too bad. I had them socketed, so I only had to go get some solder wick to desolder the headers. I don't have a Third Hand though, so it was a tad awkward and I just desoldered them enough to fit in the sockets upside down. Not the best, but it seems secure enough.
