ErgoMechKeyboards
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 already had switches, caps, nice!nanos, and am printing a temporary case while I finalize what I want to use (currently planning on a linen-reinforced epoxy - think FR4 but DIY and sub linen for glass fiber). So, cost for me was fairly low.
Yeah, I already deleted the comment because the kit is not that tragically expensive by itself (although will make a an ergo mech keyboard for about 30$ with switches and caps, european vendors are relatively costly).
How did you see this comment? I deleted it hours ago. :O
Yeah. If you have everything but the PCB, it is rather cheap. It's the other parts where the costs add up.
For the comment, it must have been a quirk of federation. I saw it in my notifications in pre-deleted form.
