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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

Finally found some fitting caps for my BRK OUT: Vintage Triumph Adler harvested from a Gabriele 9009 typewriter.

My god, that looks incredible

Thank you! :) Hoping to get a case printed in retro beige for the full old school look...

That sounds so rad! I'd love to see it again when you have a beige version :)

[–] apfel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'll definitely post it once done :)

So cool! I've been hoping to see one of these daughterboard orthocades in the wild. Have any extra parts? Would love to build one

[–] apfel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Got all of it through a mini-groupbuy, so just one set of components for me... I bet you'd find other people to share with, though! 😊

What, and they just fit?!

Edit: It looks great!
