Not observant myself, but best wishes to those of the faith. My first ever hand-wired keyboard was a Planck with an extra column.

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

I love fully custom boards. Nice job here!
What is 40s day?
On the fortieth day of the year, keyboard nerds show off the tiny keyboards that hover somewhere around 40% of the number of keys on a full size board.
