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

QMK song player web app – play QMK songs in your browser (getreuer.info)

QMK song player is a web app that reads QMK song code and plays it in your browser.

If you have a QMK keyboard with a speaker, you can use the audio feature to produce these songs from your keyboard (how to add songs to your keymap). Why do this? Because it is fun! You can play a song when the keyboard starts up, or more functionally, play a little melody to indicate events like when setting the default layer.

QMK comes with a good number of predefined songs out of the box. Here are a couple to whet your appetite:

More songs are in quantum/audio/song_list.h. You can also edit the code and write your own songs, see QMK song syntax for how to do it. Enjoy!

Hahaha based on the post title I was sure there was some acronym confusion about QMK. But I stand corrected this is awesome!

Thanks! Haha, yes, I see in hindsight how this looks like an acronym confusion.
