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've made the 0.1 design available to the public now.

Ive been using it for a few weeks myself and its quite nice to use, particularly with the aluminium chassis (the GitHub repo has FDM and CNC designs).

In any case, for those curious the GitHub is here: https://github.com/MickiusMousius/RolioKeyboard

I am working on the V1.0 model, PCB's should arrive in a few days. I think the V1.0 release should be good enough for others to make. The current model is nice, but there are a lot of improvements in the pipeline particularly regarding aesthetics.

V1.0 sample below:

no one has asked about the very detailed key caps … but you have a link in the github repository to fkcaps

I expect once it’s at a “now it’s done” stage that might come up more.

Right now this is little more than a nice POC. I think the refined version will be quite a bit better…. And easier to make all going well.

Beautiful board! I thought the thumbnail might be a render, that's crazy

Thankyou.

I’ve started assembling V1 today. Which means I can finish the mechanical design this week. I’m looking forwards to having it, I think it’s going to look very nice.

Looking forward to an update when it's done (hopefully with lots of pics :)!

That's so awesome. In amazed you've put it all out there for others to sell. I'm sure it's going to show up on AliExpress pre-made soon. I'd happily buy this.
