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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

I hope y'all don't mind the Reddit repost! It's nice to see the community take off here on the Fediverse!

Amazing guide. I binged it a few weeks ago and then followed along to build my keyboard.

Great content. Thanks! Now I'm tempted to design something from scratch

thank you - they are very helpful, especially for Ergogen v4. Most other tutorials are based on v3.
