Had the kit for it since December now, but didn't quite get around to actually tackling that project. But last week I finally got around to writing the keymap and getting it to compile, and on Tuesday I managed to print the case and assemble everything.
I even assembled it wrong at first, and only realized after I already had soldered all switches, meaning I had to unsolder everything once. Still, I managed to finish it.
If you are tall or have broad shoulders, you may particularly benefit from the ergonomics of a truly split keyboard.
There are options in all sizes and layouts.
@wsa That’s a Boardsource Unicorne with MT3 keycaps and a custom cable between the halves.

I created my own layout firmware for it: https://mark.stosberg.com/markstos-corne-3x5-1-keyboard-layout/
At this point I’m fairly fast and efficient with it.
Mantis v1.0 development update
After working on it for more than a year, I’m starting to see the finish line of this project. So it seemed like a good time to share an update and some renders on my GitHub development branch. If I don’t hit any major snags, I expect to build the first prototypes in March or April and publish the final design and a build guide later this spring.

DIY custom ergo mice
ergo thumb cluster laptop deck for framework?
Curious if anyone else has reached out to frame.work about the idea for a more ergonomic option on the keyboard & touchpad deck? They already offer some international options with more keys on the 13, so I don’t see why a modified layout would pose any further challenge. Let alone on the 16 with the modular deck
