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

I took a WaveShare RP2040-Touch-LCD-1.28and made a program to use it as a touchscreen. This is still very much in the beta phase but the proof of concept works. Here’s my GitHub repo for it.

I’m planning on integrating it into my next split near the thumb cluster.

Touchpad = trackpad

I've never heard the term touchpad. They're synonyms, right?

It's called touchpad in Windows settings.

Huh! TIL! I use macs way more often, but I also use windows and I've changed the settings of the pad many times, i can't believe i didn't notice/dont remember that the names are different.

Yes both terms are interchangeable. I chose touchpad because it’s a touchscreen.
