Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Bad Wings: Slim - My final (and favorite) XSwitch project.
This is such a cool project 😍 Have you ever tried getting / gotten your hands on Cherry ULP switches?
I haven't yet. I'm sure I'll eventually get some, but not in a hurry to do so until keycaps are easier to get ahold of. afaik, there are a few 3d printed caps but I don't think my printer could do them.
Yeah, I've heard that caps are a hassle so I've also been holding off :D I kinda hoped you'd know something hehe
That’s tight! What kind of switches are those? The new cherry ultra low profile?
These are the Kailh XSwitch. I haven't tried the new cherry ulp yet.
Oh cool! I hadn’t heard about those yet! How do you like them?
It wasn't until this build (I've done several xswitch designs now) that I started to really like them. I love the way they feel, but they're too heavy for me to use all day. This build has been my travel board, where I'm only using a keyboard for 30-60 minutes and I love it.
