This custom ergo split keyboard called SplittoDogu was designed and shared by Timo Strube aka tstrube/Breschtling. It has plenty of keys, 74 to be precise, and features six encoders.
I wanted to get into electrical engineering, learned about QMK, went overboard with features, of which I use maybe half :) – Timo.
The encoders are for arrow keys, mouse wheel, page up/down, and undo/redo. One of the two screens shows the active layer and the status of Num and Caps Lock. The other screen is dedicated for Bongo Cat.
