Recently assembled my first split keyboard - keycaps are from Yuzu Keycaps, and the case is 3D printed in wood PLA and then sanded, stained, and varnished.
PCB ordered from https://fingerpunch.xyz/

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

What do the dials do?
Depends on what layer I’m using, but mostly I use the right encoder for slow scrolling. The left one does volume most of the time.
If I’m on the macro layer the right one adjusts the brightness of the lights in my room 😌
Thank you for the answer!
