While customizing a split Totem, BeelbOu (aka a munsplit) created and shared the Bobslei keycap profile. As you can see, this is a saddle-ish sculpted cylindrical design, optimized for columnarly staggered ergo keyboards. With only Choc stem currently.
Got myself a wireless Totem from aliexpress (Keycoon store) with a case, but i loved how it looked naked. So i designed one myself to make it closer to that naked look, also designed keycaps for it (for fdm printing with manually modeled supports) – munsplit.
Designed and modeled in Plasticity.
Features
- Choc V1 stem
- Choc spacing
- all-1U set
- homing keys
Not sure about the thumb keys, but I like the pattern of the homing keys here:
