u/Lolcatz52 designed and printed an ergo split to fit his own fingers.

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.
Daily handwired project: Lolcatz52's Blank Slate, a wireless ergo split.
This is a handwired 36 key split, with a column stagger that fits my own fingers pretty much perfectly. 20g gChoc switches, using 2 nice!nano v2's and ZMK with a 2500mAh battery (went a little overkill there lol) – Lolcatz52.
In addition, the case has magnets (6x1mm neodymium magnets) so it's easier to carry around, and it also has rubber feet to sit nicely without moving on the desk.
u/Lolcatz52 designed and 3D printed the case and plate himself, STL files are available here: https://github.com/placeholdername314/stls
It's got a bit of a learning curve due to keys being choc spaced instead of MX spaced like I'm used to, and less keys so I have to learn new layers for everything, and I'm also learning the colemak q;ix layout at the same time, so its a lot, but not too bad so far.
