Fpm101 build by Sadek Baroudi (fingerpunch kb), case designed and 3D printed by me. It uses keyboardio key caps and has matias clicky alps clones. It has a scroll ring around the trackball also!
Can’t wait to use lemmy!

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

If you don't mind sharing, how much did this cost to build?
Well, that’s a bit hard to nail down, the board is not for sale yet so, I’m not sure the price is nailed down. The plate is laser cut acrylic I got on special from elecrow for $4. The Keboardio keycaps were on sale for $5 a set for the alps version. I went cheap and got Matias clicky switches (alps clones), $40 for 200. I also used half a roll of filament for the case, about $20, and screws I had on hand. All in, disregarding prototype cases, around $280 to $300.
