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

MODERATORS
One place to start looking is in the source code of the QMK firmware. They have subfolders for many keybaords, and most of them have a picture. https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards Most of them are hobby projects though, so soldering will be required.
Just an idea: you could attach the two halves of a split keyboard to a wooden board. The piantor is a corne-like split with hot-swap choc v1 sockets that has been designed to keep soldering to a minimum. Some soldering still required though.
