Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

The Midge is a bluetooth-only 30 key split keyboard with column splay and an aggressive pinkie stagger.

And for people to whom this design appeals, it's even open source: https://github.com/jimmerricks/bugs/tree/master/midge

I had the Hummingbird in mind when I designed it. The other main influence was Tapi's Architeuthis duxjamesmnw.
