    That looks absolutely incredible! Being able to move the columns up and down is such a great idea, and the exposed PCBs and exposed ribbon cables look amazing. Are those custom keycaps, too?

    Ergo alone takes a long time to get used to, especially combined with split and tilt. At least for me. I gave my Moonlander away to someone that broke theirs. Just didn’t have the time or patience and it was stressing my RSI even more. I have too much muscle memory ingrained as well as bad old habits.

    That being said you did a great job. it looks cool as hell. Maybe keep it for display like others mentioned.

    Why do you think it’s less ergonomic than a normal keyboard?

    I’ve been following the ergomech subreddit ever since I’ve searched for ergonomic keyboards after wondering what’s next with mechanical keyboards. I view with disdain the amount of consumerism that seems to be the major trend with mechanical keyboards with all the IMO nonsense limited group buys of metal, plastic builds

    Ergonomic keyboard scene is a lot more interesting because of the inherent diy nature of it in the deep end, up to designing your own personalized layout. I just never did the jump because I don’t want to retrain my muscle memory again after doing so for colemak 15 years ago

    I mean it looks clean as hell, mount it like a piece of art and it’s a cool conversation piece + memory

    Looks very adjustable! And i love splits. Why do you say it’s less ergonomic?

      The idea of a thumb area and a hinge in the 3d printed chassis at the same time was not something I could make work.

        You’ve probably already done it, but perhaps the .op lander keyboard can help with inspo getting that thumbcluster dialed in.

    Really cool. I also agree with making it an art piece when you’ve come up with a way to showcase it.

    That looks great! I’m curious about how that thumb cluster works for you?

      By itself, without the rest of the keyboard it’s quite good. It’s just when you try and use it all together with that chassis and system.

      Ublox offers more than gps modules, this one is probably Bluetooth.

        Ah, good to know. I’ve literally only seen them do GPS modules so far. Got me confused for a moment.
