A lovely board from Beekeeb, cannot recommend them enough. By far the best service I've had. Leo is incredible. The original right now uses TRRS. He is working on this version right now 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

In my previous main keyboard the halves were connected using USB-C. However, I've currently switched to a piantor with TRRS.
I really liked the idea of USB-C: same connector everywhere, more data lines and no risk of short circuit during connect/disconnect. In practice soldering USB-C connectors was not easy for me, I encountered continuous issues and had to resolder them multiple times.
While my soldering skills are not great, I can reliably solder TRRS. I prefer having a reliable connection even though I have to pay attention to connecting and disconnecting it when the keyboard is not plugged in.
Just sharing my experience, I wish I could solder USB-C connectors reliably.
