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.

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking at the Cornish Zen recently.

What would be the major differences between keyboards on your site and the CZ? I see they’re both wireless.

Functionally, they're not very different. The CZ has onboard controllers so over all, it's thinners, it has a e-ink display so it burn less battery. The Corne uses separate wireless controller (bluemicro840), so I have to design a case around this controller, thus making the case thicker and less refined than the CZ. It also can use an e-ink screen (the nice!view), but it's not very easy to find, so I stick with OLED screens. My version can accommodate a huge battery so it can last months event with OLED screens.

Cool, thanks for the description! I’m interested in buying a pre built keyboard optimized for traveling. Which configuration would you recommend from your site?

Just checking - they all use QMK or ZMK right?

Optimized for travel, then I'd suggest wireless low profile corne. It's small, light and wireless.
