"Custom" version of the Skeletyl with DSA Royal Navy keycaps I use as my daily driver. Recently added a scroll wheel to it using QMK rotary encoder support.

Looks shitty, but works great.

This build started out as a super low budget keyboard because I wasn't sure if I would like the sculpting (was coming from a 36 key corne). Switches are Gateron browns. I prefer linear switches, but this was what I had lying around.

When sanding the 3d print, I broke the third thumb key slot on the right hand side and decided to make this misfortune into an advantage and build a 34 version instead, saving me from having the hassle with diodes and go for a direct pin layout a la sweep instead.

Controllers were two micro usb chinese pro micro clones that were just floating around in the case and the two sides were connected directly by wire without any jacks (see imgur for a picture if you dare :P).

Turns out I loved it so I have been improving it since by adding properly mounted controllers (Frood) and the experimental scrollwheel. Next are the bottom plates :)

I first tried using the panasonic Panasonic EVQ-WGD001 but didn't like how they scrolled at all, it was veeeeery hard to turn them. Might have just been the ones I got, but made them unusable for me.

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
