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
