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 tried to distill my favorite features of weteor's magnificent Kong for this layout. I loved the thumb cluster but wanted a split 36 key layout. Designed for a pair of socketed purple Pi Picos I had from a previous build. Built with Outemu Cream Yellows.

Looks awesome! This is the thumb cluster position I would also go for in such a build. Hope you enjoy and like your work!

Thank you!! The thumb cluster is so comfortable. Just finished tweaking the firmware and will open source everything shortly

Retro beige is the best. Been searching for and wide and have yet to find a set I prefer

They look super crisp. Is "retro beige" a gmk collorway? Or are you just saying you like retro beige in general (in which case- I do too! Hoping to do a PC case in retro beige when I get arount to building a PC :)

Just like retro beige in general. I think this set is 21kb, of which I'm a huge fan.
