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

honestly I just like to build them... I am somehow locked in to 36 keys now though and try to get miryoku onto it...
That's fair lol. Is this your first attempt at a 36 key layout?
Oh no many others, some a bit over 36 keys, like piantor and revxlp... But just using 36 typically.
Chocofi is awesome, too. Also built crowboard, and a self-wired skeletyl but right side unfortunately refused to work... Need more time to look into it.
That's sick. I think 34 keys is the sweet spot for me, having been using that for the last month or so. I plan on building a chocofi very soon though, which I'm very excited for. I'm glad you're a fan :P
