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

As if Ergomechkeyboards needs more Cheapino’s. I had my spare parts laying around and built this for a friend. Thought I’d share a quick photo. Still love this project
Thanks to you i will build my own Cheapino as my first Ergo Mech. Hopefully everything goes right.
It’s a great first build and first ergo. That was my experience as well. Good luck! Shoot me a dm if that is a thing on lemmy and I’d be happy to help you, discord as well if that’s better 👍
Yo, how’d the build go? You get parts in yet?
Looks amazing! How did you get it? Did you buy it all set or you built it yourself?
BTW, what are these keycaps?
Built it, it’s a cheap diy option called the Cheapino https://github.com/tompi/cheapino
Pretty affordable option though at low key count you could likely get a better build for a similar cost. Keycaps are whatever cheap aliexpress I could find hahaha.
Doing it again I’d go for the badwings that Hazel just posted here
How did the friends like it?
I think it was too small for them hahah. But they liked the split and programmability. I think they are looking at buying a voyager.
