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.

Hi All,

I've just released all of the design files for the Rolio 46.1 keyboard. They can be found on GitHub below:

https://github.com/MickiusMousius/Rolio46Keyboard

I'll be opening a store in January to sell sub-assemblies & components to make it easier for people to build their own Rolio 46.1 without needing to chase as many components.

Cheers

MickiusMousius

Here are a few more pictures too:

All three chassis variants

EDIT: Note to mods, if I need to add a vendor flair please let me know and I can re-post.

hmm i should get this some time

[–] MickiusMousius 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please do, I’ll be selling the parts in January. But, everything you need to source your own parts is in the GitHub repository too.

i would need to get money first XD

[–] MickiusMousius 2 points 1 year ago

lol, yeah, I’ve brought the prices as low as I can, but even then it’s still not cheap compared to a big box store keyboard.

very nice indeed, what keycaps are those tho?

[–] MickiusMousius 3 points 1 year ago

Custom caps from FKCaps.

They run a top notch service that I highly recommend.

Looks like some custom MBK to me.

[–] drkhrse96 2 points 1 year ago

The GitHub provides details on where to get the keycaps and how to customize them.
