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

3d print plastic is mostly the same stuff as any other plastic with the same name. Any additives to make it print better are probably also found in your other gadgets or clothes and even food. If you don't already have as much microplastic in your blood as the rest of us, then I want to live in your town.
Now fiber infused filaments absolutely do leave shit embedded in your skin and dog only knows if you can ever shed it.
Anyway, I don't know anyone that is actually selling, but one of my friends modified some 3d print models of a dactyl variant to be machined out of a block of aluminum and its really damned nice. Premium but still diy...
Yeah, I don't really know anything about plastics and I don't want to know. Just as I don't want to know anything about flame retardants and lead escaping from cheap ebay electronics. That's why a I want a fat and expensive CE stamp. TCO would be great as well.
