The Arkenswoop is a Lord of the Rings themed revision of the swoop by jimmerricks (which is a revision of the sweep by David Barr, which is a revision of the Ferris by Pierre Chevalier (yes I found that chain of revisions funny so I included it in its entirety)).

Don’t worry it isn’t just a themed put on it, I added hotswap support, keeping the reversible design and wireless support. I also removed the LEDs, having no use for them ; they are also a huge power draw when in wireless. Encoder was moved a bit to the bottom because it was interfering with the nearest keycap (and the key became stuck upon pressing it, I found it funny at first).

Alas I also screwed up: the switch plate holes are a bit too big (longer than wider) ; easy fix for now was to put some tape and voilà, every holds as the holes are tighter. I might print another plate with smaller holes but for now this is more than fine.

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
