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

Case: GEIST's design in black resin (JLC)

Nice! I got a geist totem too the other month and its really good. Especially the 3d printed case is perfect

Have almost the same exact board except with 3D printed CS caps. Agree it's great. I think I might prefer if the pinky cluster key was a bit higher and more inline with the homing pinky key but not bad at all the way it is

Looks like an interesting board. What do you map to those outer keys?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My daily driver is a 34 key layout, and I've been curious about pinky clusters, so I just mapped it to the top outer button, i.e., Q on the peft side. As I still have that button, I rarely remember to use the outer ones.

Now that I'm used to my hillside, I'm starting to think about a wireless option, and this one is at the top of my list. It looks good!
