Ha, fixed the URL - thank you for pointing it out 🥰. It's a unibody split meaning it's essentially a split keyboard in a unibody. Even though I like to type on a split keyboard while having them shoulders width apart the unibody format allows for easier transportation and typing on the lap while traveling.

As for the main features it ...:

• supports hotswap sockets
• is choc v1 spaced
• has the MCU mounted face down
• can be used wireless
• has a subtle angle of the halves (which I prefer more)
• has a bigger gap between the halves

The case is 3D printed with PLA and currently no open sourced. The keycaps used are custom MBKs with Chicago Steno Homing from Pseudoku. If you have any other questions just let me know 😊.

Thanks for your questions:

1. The encoder is indeed placed in a way that allows my finger to not move away from the home row and use my thumbs to navigate the knob.
2. I got the custom carrying sleeve from Mechfashion from a small private group buy we did. But not sure if the owner still offers customized keyboard sleeves. The domain and business was moved to deskpads. The sleeve provides enough cushion and protection to give me some peace of mind when throwing it in my bag.

The transition for me personally was fortunately pretty smooth due to having touch typed properly on a normal row staggered board. My first columnar staggered keyboard was the 3W6. It of course felt different and your muscle memories have to slightly adapt but it was worthwhile with the added comfort a columnar staggered board in a split layout provides. So if you are already touch typing properly I think you get used to it just fine. The harder part at the beginning will probably be finding the right keymap since having fewer keys using mod tap, combos and layers will be mandatory :D.

Yep, that's correct! That's just one half of it so it's indeed a 36 key keyboard - sorry for any confusions :)

I have 3W6 (made by weteor), KLOR, KLOTZ and TOTEM (made by GEIST) and couple more Sweeps (Choc variants). I often go back to the Sweep because as a MX spaced variant it just feels the most comfortable for me. I feel like my hands fits it perfectly: thumbs are very easy to reach and use and surprisingly the pinky feels optimal for me. When I do crave for a shorter travel distance of a switch and smaller spacing I like to go back to KLOTZ and Sweep Bling LP.

Being able to have them at various width apart is a real game changer (for me). I love to have them approximately shoulder width apart and it makes typing so much more comfortable and enjoyable. Of course it being columnar staggered instead of traditional row staggered is contributing immensely to that as well. I'd definitely suggest giving it a try. The only possible downside I could think of is when working in specific programs where you use the board one handed and need to reach for keys that are on the other side, but that can be solved by having specific keymap layers.

Thank you! I used Fillamentum - PLA Crystal Clear Amethyst Purple for the case :)

Oh thats a 3DP case I made awhile ago. This specific version is currently not open sourced but there are some other variants out there from different creators that are awesome.

Oh, thats just one half of it. But using keymap layout such as Ardux or Taipo allows you to just use one side of the keyboard and still be able to type any characters you want. I'm hovering between 100-120 WPM in the split configuration and qwerty layout.

beautiful build as always 😍

Very great and cute and awesome looking board! Can't wait to start typing on mine.

Hehe, yeah you can map it to different things. I like to use it for ctrl+left and ctrl+right to quickly jump back and forth between words and also ctrl+pg up and ctrl+pg dn to quickly navigate between browser tabs.

I also hope the engraving lasts for a considerable amount of time 😅. Don't think they offer filled engraving but that would've been very interesting to experiment with!

Oh interesting, didn't know that. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it ☺️.
