Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

My first ever bulid and I'm so excited! It's not trivial to build a perfect keyboard just from parts you can order in Europe. This is one doesn't look exactly how I imagined it but I love it anyway. If anyone is interested - it's a Sofle Choc V3 kit from 42. Keebs.
The first few days were a bit hard but after just a week of using it I was able to beat my monkeytype high score. I'm still not really fluid in using it for programming and vim in general though.
I've also ordered a sofle choc v3 and started to use it, but I didn't soldered the led or the screens yet. I'm also happy with my keyboard and the delivery was done properly !
As a minor point I'm not sure if the sources for the keyboard have been published yet (the fork in the repo haven't been updated since a lot of time, and I didn't found a v3 branch). This is not a problem for me but can be if you have foss vibes.
I've also removed the bottom plate because it make the keyboard sound... oddly when you press a key. I have to make some tests with plasstics screws instead of the metal ones given in the kit.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with the keyboard, comming from a typematrix I've been able to use it as soon it was flashed !
