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

Sorry y’all. I uploaded an upside down image. I can’t figure out how to delete the post on wefwef lol
Atreus keyboard by Keyboardio. Key caps are Susuwatari ortho set plus Colemak set by Drop.com
Why is ctrl, FN, Alt and shift correct then? This image is hurting my brain lol
Maybe they flipped those keys because they wanted them to slope in the other direction
Ok but you type upside down? Can this power be learned??

My first colstag board! It wound up not being for me due to the bottom row layout not agreeing with my hands, but it's a really neat board, the keyboardio folks are great, and their layer setup was very helpful for me as a jumping off point.
I found the layer setup fairly intuitive just as is. I had to swap a few things around because of the Colemak layout, but otherwise I’m happy with how it’s setup.
It's always nice to see our Australian friends being interested in Ergo boards too :). All jokes aside, nice board!
Nice to see a fellow Keyboardio Atreus user. Are you using stock firmware or something more exotic, and how about your layers?
Most things are stock. I had to move the ; and ‘ keys because of the Colemak Layout. And I moved/added a couple of symbols to the second layer also because of Colemak. Other than that most things are exactly the same as how it comes.
