What do you plan to do with the extra 17 switches that aren’t necessary for morse code?

To be fair I am planning on putting them back at some point.

I’m working on a core 18-key layout that I can expand anywhere up to 34 keys, so I have a consistent layout that I can use on some of the unibody split keyboards that are usually in that range of keys.

Eh, I don’t get it at all so I can’t judge. I feel like even a 104 key-layout is kinda lacking, a keyboad just doesn’t seem like the right place for minimalism to me.

It’s not about minimalism it’s about ergonomics

Not sure if this is bragging or a call for help

Somewhere in the middle? More of late night realisation than anything else.

Can you Alt+F4 with one hand? If not, it’s a yes from me.

Nahh, 2 half numpads is, still, like, nearly double the number of fingers you have, so waay overkill with all that finger movement

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
