Charlie Steenhagen (aka Modern Hobbyist) shared his Mist, a custom 100%-ish keyboard with display and split-like thumb clusters.

Mist is my take on a full size keyboard, but with some upgrades I carried over from my second keyboard build – Hermod […] I have two children now, and while I love my split keyboard, typing with one hand is 100 times more difficult and time consuming on a split – Charlie.
