That Hammer & Buger.Work keycap set looks nice. I mostly use the US-International keymap so it works actually fit my usage perfectly on QWERTY boards. I use colemak-dh on my ergo board, with QMK key overwrites to put ÆØÅ where i want them, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense on that board.

I ordered two of these to try out an ortholinear layout. I know I'll lose two keys to shift layers but the main purpose is to replace my heavily modified nostromo n52. I made a nice palm rest already but still waiting on most likely a raspberry pico for the joystick and space key. I think a similar project called GOTS did the same but I couldn't justify the price. I've hardwired an iris half before but didn't like it so I reused the pro micro for a different project.

Edit: Here is my nostromo n52 with cherry mx clone switches, a chopped up usb hub and a pro micro. I forget but it has like 14 extra buttons. I had to repair it once and do not want to dive into my spaghetti wiring to fix it again lol. The second image is a WIP prototype of the joystick keyboard attachment. I was unsatisfied with it after the first stain so I made it smaller and sanded it again. I tried to copy the n52 palm rest. Not sure why it's flagged as nsfw lol

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
