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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

This is a one-off build, a mint-green resin 5x6 Dactyl Manuform with 5-key thumb clusters, OLEDs, and RGB underglow. It came out pretty spiffy.

Bluetooth wireless builds are now available! Some features aren't yet supported with wireless (ie. trackball, underglow), but all sizes and other options are there.

Oooh baby, that looks so clean! Those SLA prints really are immaculate. What are you using for the key PCBs? Is it per switch, column, or something covering the whole board?

I'm actually using a flexible column PCB that I solder the rows together. It's a little finicky, there are better options, like these:
