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 had already posted this on the other keyboard community but after a few beers tonight, felt I should share it here too. I built this last weekend and test drove it at work all week. I think I really like the Robins but probably not as much as my beloved Sunsets.

Board: Sweep36(sweeeeep) by Fingerpunch
Github: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36
Switches: Choc Robins
Keycaps: hand-dyed MBK
Layout: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/66f1904eee126cbfe17ad4e6011db06b

The layout is for my Ferris but it's mostly adapted to 36 keys as well. It's based a bit on Miryoku and KKGA(I think that was the name). I also took heavy influence from Mental's symbol layer with the finger roll bigrams. I do have a gaming layer but it's sort of always changing depending on the game I am playing. Right now it's Dyson Sphere Program so my second gaming layer is shortcuts for like belt levels and copy/pasting buildings.
