Anyone know a good split keyboard kit with a normal number of keys to not fight with layers and stuff ? Am decent at soldering and electronics and would love to make my own keyboard 😊

The new displays for my Corne-ish Zen have arrived. I've had it for over three years, and everything is still working great, except for these two sunlight-phobic vampires ⌨️

Is it just me, or once you start using row modifiers, is hard to go back to a classic layout?

Do people type on split keyboards?

Are they easy to use?

Is a split keyboard a good thing?

Split keyboard makes me feel queasy.

I made another #ErgoMechKeyboard, taking the ribbon cable idea for my Bivouac34, and the 32-key layout and a 5-way navigation button from my Bivvy16D #SplitKeyboard. This is my Goldilocks32 #MechanicalKeyboard - another diode-free design with a #GraphTheory based sparse scanning matrix https://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2026/03/goldilocks-30-to-32-key-keyboard.html

When using Blender I’d like to keep my right hand on the pointing device (pen or mouse) and the other on the keyboard.

But I use a steeply tented split keyboard, and a few keys I need regularly are on the right half; with a flat keyboard I’d reach over to the other half, but because of the almost 90° tenting this is difficult and slow.

I think I will try solving this issue by making one key flip the two halves (temporarily).

What do you think, how would you approach this problem?

@phlimy remember when you brought your #splitkeyboard when we met IRL?

That stuck in my head for quiet a while now and inspired me to also build one. Thanks for the inspiration and for introducing me to it! 😇

Hm, maybe I found a successor to the Magic Keyboard.

The Elora looks like exactly what I wanted. This is significantly better for my hands than the Adv360.
I'm playing around with custom QMK, and now I think I know what I want.
The keycaps are a mix of what I have, and a custom set is on the way. #splitkeyboard

@mwichary
Was that Wheatstone #SplitKeyboard a prototype for an upgrade to his beautiful ABC alphabetical telegraph?

Might have given it an “ease of use” chance against Morse’s code

But the need for multiple copper wires in Wheatstone & co’s systems cost more
