While polishing the Zebra prototyping board, key-yack tried to recreate some of the popular ergo layouts.
The Zebra, this magnetic prototyping framework, was featured in KBD #42 , check the original post for PCB and other resources.
Back to this week's developments, here is a gallery with all the layouts tested:https://imgur.com/a/3LcMOm2
I cannot help but admit - even though most of the boards are the same old staggered columns + thumb cluster of some curvature, some of you are putting them together in ways that makes me wonder if your hands have the same kind of joints as mine – key-yack . :)
