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

4 years with my Iris V2. My only 2 complaints are that I didn't like the default layering layout in QMK and that I couldn't wait for V4.
Incredible keyboard.
I also highly recommend the Otemu Silent Sky switches I used in it, though sourcing them is a real pain. Tactile, buttery smooth, good resistance curves, and utterly silent.
Love mine too. I’ve had one at work and one at home for about 3 years now. Only thing I dislike is that the upper thumb button is useless. I’d rather have an extra key on the lowest row.
Oh funny I love my upper thumb. Esc/` on one side and Del on the other. So not high traffic, but close when I need them.
