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

Why does this look like a Chitauri weapon??
Looks like ancient space tech that still turns on. Feelin' a type of way with my prebuilt lol
All MJF?
I hit mine with a blow torch to melt the outside layer a bit and get it a bit glossy. Makes it a little darker but also a bit of a worn spaceship look. Love it!
Agree that ZMK is good, you using nice!nanos?
Yup all MJF I love the look and feel. Yours looks great, I like how light this came out though. Yup ZMK with Nice Nano’s 3.5 has pointer support and a great community member just released a driver for the PMW3610
For some reason, I want to rub my face on them. No, I've never had that thought about keyboards as an adult, and in earlier years it would have been about napping, but this ... this belongs in a shrooms, ecstasy and textures bunker. After its found in a crashed space-ship of course.
Now, if you'll excuse me, its time for my twice-a-decade review of the fact that none of my friends has connections for ANY of those things any more, and neither do I. God I hope someone I know retires and starts(again) taking payments in drugs before my mind is gone anyways. Be nice if this fenanyl bullshit went away too. Make no mistake, none of us are squares, just old-for-millenials.
Does the trackball drain the battery fast?
Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.
I wasn’t aware there was a wireless version of this out there, doesn’t the trackball sensor eat the battery?
Can you point me to a build guide?
