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 felt the Piantor needed a foot pedal, a glidepoint, some rgbs, and a little baby macro pad. So here we are.

I created an 8% tent solution and supporting wrist rests.

Then added a glide point to eliminate the need for mouse.

For meeting mode, I added this little macropad to handle all the volume and video sharing controls.

Then thought it'd be interesting to see how a foot pedal could be incorporated into the daily driver and possibly minimize keystrokes.

So far, a fun build, the glide point is a little tricking to get into scroll mode and for mouse clicks. Still reviewing those settings. The jury is still out on the foot pedel, I've never used one before so it feels a bit unorthodox. Thought I'd share.
