Hi,

I use an Ergodox and I’d like to get a keyboard that would best fit my use case :

  • alpha keys without numbers nor side column modifier (3x5 matrix for each hand)
  • 3 keys for each thumb
  • the inner thumb key should be compatible with a larger keycap
  • compatible with choc profile
  • pinky staggering more pronounced than the Ergodox (or the Corne)

I found the Chocofi that matches all of those criteria but I’m not expert, do you think there is something more suited ? Maybe a variation of the Piantor ?

It’s funny to me how everybody on the 40% ergo (maybe split) train wants/likes exactly the corne, but with more pinky stagger

It’s exactly what I want : a Corne with a lower pinky column relative to the ring finger. It’s so weird that this design is not yet popularized !

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
