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

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

Is this kit no longer available? I've been waiting forever for splitkb to release the Elora to compliment my kyria for when I need a number row (gaming), but this seems like the next best thing.

This will be for sale very soon, it's not listed yet, I was just able to get it a bit sooner 😄

The Elora is also undergoing the last few steps before going for sale, I'm also waiting for it and can't wait to try out the module system!

Very cool. After getting the Kyria I really cannot imagine having anything other than this style thumb cluster/stagger. Great to see that there are alternatives out there.
