Custom unibody split
A custom 3D-printed unibody split keyboard by justsunone – with video tour.

Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.
The 3D-printed parts of justsunon's unnamed monoblock keyboard are put together by using sliding dovetails.
Separating the halves via the middle block helps to move them closer to shoulder-width (à la Kinesis Advantage).
The hollowed center part (with lid) accommodates the controller.
I chose the "Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE" for my microcontroller board for its Bluetooth compatibility with QMK.
Btw, the keyboard is handwired and hotswappable by using Kailh hotswap sockets.
