Fellow redditor keeb_carving aka STRMSKY shared some files of this handwired(?) keyboard: the layout of Sally is derived from that of Alice keyboards, and was designed to meet the author's specific needs.
I couldn't find staggered split keyboard with thumb cluster and B letters on both sides so I decided to make my own – keeb_carving.
The board consists of 59 keys (57 x 1u + 2 x 1.5u), and features pretty uniquely arranged thumb clusters.
Design goals
physically split layout
numeric row (for gaming)
row staggered layout
thumb cluster
mostly 1u keys
letter B is accessible in both right and left half
