Looks lovely. But too expensive for my wallet :(

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 wish someone would make a nice tented unisplit like this with an actual ergo layout.
The keyboard.io team is working on a Model-100-but-one-tented-piece, but it’s still pretty early in the development process. Obra has shown CAD screenshots on their discord!
I did see that and it looks cool, but is it actually a tented PCB, or is the tent part of the keycap sculpt?
It's two flat split pcbs joined with some curvature between them to form the trackball housing. STL is open source, and here https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/fingerpunch/tree/master/keyboards/ximi/v1/cases/stl
Search for "uni" in that folder and you'll find all the parts!
