The Doro56 by Gehennakid is a 56-key split keyboard with a reversible PCB that uses normal mods, an exploded number row, a semi-column-staggered layout, plus support for rotary encoders. It's the columnar split brother of the author's 60%-ish Doro62 following a similar concept.
2nd revision of my semi columnar staggered custom split with normal mods […] The layout shown is as is, utilizes blockers to help hide extra holes from the stabilizers for each sides. I added support for TRRS cables, but have yet to create a QMK firmware for it – Gehennakid.
