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

Nice build!
What do you think of the 3D printed case? I'm currently interested in 3D printed cases with steel plates, they're just like prebuilt keyboards only ergo. The case for this version has an integrated plate, so I can't drop steel into it.
All my current boards have 3d printed cases so I don’t have much to compare it to. I’ve also been thinking about different plate materials and seeing how they change the sound profile, but haven’t actually started building anything yet. Chewiedies on Printables has designed gasket-mount 3d printable cases for a number of boards, which I want to try out before I start designing anything new.
