I hate it when a keyboard project has no name – how are people supposed to reference it? Anyway, this semi-parametric split with keywell, designed by Gregory Zhizhilkin aka stopdesign, is documented on his blog at grrr.sh, so let's call this the Grrr keyboard.

I made a compact ergonomic split keyboard, designed to reduce desk footprint and minimize wrist strain – stopdesign.

Inspired by the Dactyl and Corne, the structure consists of a flat base platform and a curved plate, connected by organic-looking legs.
