Ben Cooper aka bncpr published his 12x4 ortho, a hotswap keyboard with an OLED display in the gap between the halves.

Just finished building my first design. I wanted to have a first design project to play with before designing a split keyboard. It's a 12x4 design with hotswappable sockets for MX Cherry or Kailh Choh – bncpr.

The gap in the middle was added for an OLED display but also to get used to having separate sides for each hand.
