ErgoMechKeyboards
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

Not a big fan of touchpads, leave you with sore wrists.
Put a ball or a track point on it and it would look interesting for me.
There are options for trackball: https://naya.tech/products/naya-track
Ahh looks nice!
But won't drag me away from my concave Scylla and Elecom Huge anytime soon :)
Scylla looks nice, where did you get it?
Printed it with MJF and then built and handwired it myself.
I used Brown cherry's and nice Nanos boards running ZMK!
It looks like vaporware to me tbh
Same, curious to see what the actual final product will look like
I recently remembered about it and it seems like the keyboard has been re-scheduled from May 2024 to August 2024 to (now) February 2025, so I think you'd be better off getting something else and then ordering it if/when it releases (and if it doesn't turn out to be a disaster).
If you'd like an extra-wide keyboard, there's timception's Drift (or less-wide Pinky4, ErgoArrows, etc.)
If you'd like pointing devices, there are some designs with various placements.
