I think it looks cool at least and I learnt lots of skills while doing it!
Ok, this is sick. Well done. I love how modular it is.
It does look very cool
The concept reminds me of my Dumang DK6 ergo v2 that I've stashed away and never use. Same reason as you, it's just less ergonomic than my keyboard.io even though it's more customizable (you can place every individual key anywhere on the baseplate in any orientation)
That looks awful. Your home keys are all over the place.
Are you talking about the "dumang ergo v2" or the "keyboardio model 100"?
In either case: The home keys are right under my fingertips when they are in their natural position.
Try a charachorder design sometime too! They're fantastic!
I'm surprised you used ribbon cables and sub-PCBs instead of just making one large one. It would've been a lot quicker to put together.
Maybe the picture isn't showing that they're at a downward angle?
... why does your keyboard appear to have a gnss module?

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
