I've bought the idea of getting an ergo keyboard for work, but it's too expensive to buy one from where I live, so the last days I've been learning and designing my own.
I know it won't be as good as a manufactured one but I really want to see how the result will be
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

CAD (cardboard aided design) is really powerful. You get to fail fast: figuring out things don't work before more expensive manufacturing steps (such as laser cutting).
And using inkscape is fine, but even better if you print it out and stick it to cardboard.
