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

First of all, the sweep is wonderful. I love myself tiny keebs and this one fits the bill. Sadly I gotta fix some soldering that fucked up over months of use, but it's just sooo nice.

I started with the default layout (in JSON/QMK) and made some minor tweaks, but it's largely the same.

I was forced by stupid leadership to start going back to the office, so needed a way to bring a board. Didn't want to go back to the Moonlander (though I have since the solder started giving out) for taking to the office, so figured out that it fits beautifully inside the case for my Bose headphones! Those never leave my desk anyway, so the case didn't get any use.

Anyway, if you run a tiny board with tall caps - this is the way - it works really nice and keeps things pretty snug without being overly so.

Great keyboard case for those of us who are kinda nuts.

I'm a simple man: I see a sweep I upvote

Regarding your case: it's very neat! I also found that cable mod non-coiled cables cases work great to put a sweep inside! (Even works with a cantor, 6x3+3)
