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 wasn’t aware there was a wireless version of this out there, doesn’t the trackball sensor eat the battery?

Can you point me to a build guide?

It’s using a low power sensor PMW3610 so not really haven’t had it run out of battery yet to test haha.

There isn’t an offical wireless version, the designer is working on an opensource controller to use instead of nice nanos and waiting for offical ZMK support this is a mod. http://docs.bastardkb.com/help/bluetooth.html

Not a build guide available for this at the moment. I used the offical build guides for the wired version just swapped out the sensor PCB and Holder, using my own slightly modified holder for the nice nanos to move the reset and power to be more reachable.
