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

Just got my first embedded design in and it works!

Embedded RP2040. ortho-ish layout with dropped and splayed pinkies, thumb fan, GMT-020 display (🤞).

Now to figure out Quantum Painter and build a case.

Awesome routing. The strict straightness fits very well with the ortho layout.

Looks great! What does that process of embedding the controller look like? Does that come out more expensive?

Wait what is a "thumb fan"? Sounds like something I didn't know I needed - I mean it's getting hot so why not?

the thumb keys are all angle 10deg between them. fanning them out.

Aah thanks, that makes sense - I was thinking about a fan pushing air towards the thumb cluster :)
