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

I saw the FAK firmware that @semickolon wrote / shared here, and thought it'd be fun to try to write firmware for.

Nickel is one of these "JSON + functions" languages.

I found it pretty fun to write declarations for the keymaps. I've shared my code at https://github.com/rgoulter/fak but here are some things I thought were neat:

The PCB design files (and other useful files, like plate files, 3DP case files, etc.) can be found at https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs (there's also a design which uses the CH552T directly).

It's technically a unibody split (notice that t and y are 2u apart) so that qualifies it as ergonomic according to the sidebar if I'm interpreting it correctly

I thought it might fall into the non-split ortholinear category, but that makes sense once you pointed it out.
