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

This is so cool! I've seen the solderless stuff before, but i still can't quite believe that it's so stable :D Have you had any problems with loose contacts?
Indeed it is cool. I did it as an experiment and it really works, but I had a lot of problems with loose contacts. It is somewhat stable now, but if I move the board too much the problems come back. I have a tweezer in range all the time for quick fixes, and also had to replace the BOX jades and use 5 pin switches.
Oof, yea okay that sounds a bit annoying :D
