Hey HN, I built a wireless, split, ultra-low profile keyboard from scratch called Bayleaf. As a beginner I learned all things electronics, PCB-building, designing for manufacturing, and many other hardware-related skills to put this together. This case study dives into the build process and of course the final result, hope you enjoy!

I had an issue a few years ago - every ergonomic keyboard I tried had the switches too close to each other and my fingers were cramped in that small space. Then I decided to create a keyboard which is suitable for larger hands and eliminates most of the wrist movement. 34 keys was the most optimized version for achieving as little wrist movement as possible. You can try the fitment for your palm IRL with the printable template on the website.

I've put up a homepage for my keyboard layout, LOFT, and thought I'd share in case anyone found it interesting... LOFT is free on macOS and remaps your laptop and standard keyboard into the thumb-keyed, split-layout, ergonomic dream you've been seeking! It positions your hands up and out in a creative way to get you all the goodies you thought you'd need some garage-built, geek-contraption for. All on a standard ANSI keyboard. Maybe of interest is that the site's keyboard graphics are all generated HTML+CSS via Hugo partials.
