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.

Hardware wise, Cut Slope is fully functional. Screen works, just need to figure out what I want to put on it.

Still working on a full case, but printed a quick tray for peace of mind while using it.

Matrix rain animation seeded by what you just typed

Lol that would be awesome

Hmm… WinAMP-style visualizer with an intensity based off of your WPM? Or maybe a character face that looks drowsy when idle, but reacts when you start typing? A breakout or Tetris game that plays itself? Snarky quotes making vague observations about your current typing tasks? (“Wow, look at all those numbers, someone must be a math wizard.”)

A second line of text.

I don't know how hard it would to achieve, maybe notes/reminders that you write throughout the day? A layer indicator? An animation going faster and faster when you type? Your keyboard 3d model slowly rotating? Time in different timezones? Random words of encouragement to keep you up during the day? State of ctrl/alt/super/shift/caps lock/num lock?

Good question. Curious, can you set the background to black and have white text? Or dim it / make it gray? Also, it images were to be displayed, would they be stored on the flash memory or can they be pulled from the host computer? More thoughts then questions.

It's a full color screen so sky is the limit. Images are converted to C code and stored on flash.
