Fulcrum by ghostfaceshiller aka dshil138 is a split keyboard with a pretty unique use of horizontally arranged 5-way switches.
The Fulcrum Keyboard is an 20-key ergomechanical split keyboard, with two rotary encoders, and two 5-way switches. It runs on KMK circuitpython firmware – dshil138.
The 5-way joystick, plus the regular key switch placed directly below it, puts six different actions at the tip of each thumb, all with minimal movement.
