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 just added some travel case 3d print files to the Brain repository 😊 please jump over to Github and check it out!

The case is printed in two parts with no supports and 8 embedded magnets which makes them snap together in an utterly satisfying way 🤤

This looks awesome! How did you embed the magnets? It seems like there are no holes...

And does the keyboard rattle around inside? Or is it a pretty tight fit?

The design is split into two parts and are connected with print-in-place magnets. Meaning that the print is paused at a certain height and the magnets are inserted into the print. The print is then resumed and the magnets are encased in the print.
