Ryan Schenk aka rschenk/actionbust released his Re-gret keyboard, a cool monoblock split with some splay – based on the Egret by Ryan.
Certainly a more re-fined re-mix that I have no re-grets about making – Ryan.
Compared to the original Egret, besides having two thumb buttons per side, the Re-gret has a larger angle between the halves, and the ring and pinky fingers have more stagger and more splay. It also has a Xiao MCU which is "cheaper and cuter" than a nice!nano.
