Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

My first true split build! I think it came out looking pretty good, besides the scuffed spray paint job in some parts. The typing sounds very marbly thanks to the mods and switches, just the way I like it.
Switches: Akko CS Piano factory lubed
Keycaps: Akko MDA Olivia
Mods: Tempest tape, PE foam, EVA foam, Poron switch pads
That’s the best thumb cluster on a DIY board I’ve seen so far
Looks fantastic! What are the plate and case materials?
Thanks! Plate is aluminum. I brushed it with sandpaper and applied some metal polish for a shiny brushed look.
I got the case from JLCPCB with their cheapest resin (8111X). Got it for only one dollar including shipping lol thanks to the $7 coupon you can get from sharing 3D models. Out of the box, fairly sturdy. It was semi-translucent white but a bit yellowish and ugly, so I spray painted it.
