Been using this for a while now, had a kinesis advantage 2 but wanted more customisation without paying a premium for the new advantage 360.

There's no led lighting so the battery lasts forever. Haven't timed it but reckon I get at least a month out of it coding 8 hours a day

Build details:

3d file: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2666676

switches: lubed Gazzew Boba gum pink silent Linear Bobagum - 5pin 62g spring

controllers: nice!nano powered by some 820mAh batteries

Keycaps: mix of YMDK DSA Profile PBT Blank Keycap Set for Ergo Ergodox and Glorious ABS-Doubleshot

Mouse: Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed that have had their dodgy switches swapped out for Kailh Red Switch

Bonus pic of my messy wiring:

Very cool build ! How hard was it to get the tolerance right for the switches to fit snugly ?

Was a friend that did the 3d printing, and I know next to nothing about it, but we got lucky on the first print. Switches sit in very firm, would probably damage the case if I had to pop any out!

It can be a pain. That and tuning supports so they don't fail, or slice you up trying to get them out.

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
