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

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

Where would your hands go?

The 4 keys next to each other are the thumb keys, so the keyboard would sit like this on the desk.

Wow, that looks really cool! Is that a track pad on the right?

Yeah, I've been a standard 60-75% user but this looks pretty great...

[–] yingeling@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has 58 keys, so it's getting close 😄

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I bet they layers are pretty accessible though...

[–] yingeling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

With the default keymap the farthest thumb keys change layers.
