ErgoMechKeyboards
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

I'm curious if you'd be willing to share the generator and qmk config. I've been wanting to rebuild my Dactyl with screens and a rotary controller + trackball on the right. I'm pretty set on building it myself as I've basically customized all of the parameters to better fit my hands and I'd likely need to print a bunch of cases to tune them for the modifications. That being said, I'd much rather just pay you to build it.
Of course!
I maintain a python-based generator here:

It can be a PITA to get working to generate STL and STEP files with the cadquery engine. If you have issues, just reach out to me.
And I also have a fork of Vial-QMK here:

The specific setup for this build is this subdirectory:
