Finished my first build, it turned out prettier than I expected honestly. I got a diodeless kit because I had never soldered anything before, it was quite a fun learning experience. Also my first mechanical keyboard, I’m really enjoying the feel of the keys (Kailh sunset).

I was really worried about adapting to the column-stagger, I’ve only used the regular row-stagger before, but after one hour of practice I was already typing at about half my normal speed, so I’m pretty happy.

I do feel that I need wrist rests though. not sure how to fix that yet.

I’ve been using a 5 column version for a while now and have enjoyed it. The biggest issue is that the blackpill controllers aren’t always recognized fist try. It looks like you’re using a different controller- what is it?

You can make out “Rev 9.1” if you squint real hard, too

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
