nyx-kb VS awesome-split-keyboards

I made this a while back to fill that exact need: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

How about the 64 keys Nyx https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb or Taira https://github.com/strayer/taira-keyboard that has 66 keys ? They're low profile and support ZMK.

Here's one I designed as my first electronics project: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

Seems to meet your criteria, but obviously requires some assembly.

Mine isn't there: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

Of course, I need to do a better job at advertising and keeping up with trends like OLED screens and rotary knobs. But as a plain-Jane Bluetooth split ortho keyboard, I fervently enjoy typing on it.

Just put that in the legacy pile, and build this guy instead: https://github.com/tadfisher/nyx-kb

The Nyx, a low-profile, split, wireless ergo by u/tadfisher is now open hardware (repo).

Keeping palms in the air has alleviated my wrist and saddle joint pain as well. What helped immensely to build the habit was to switch to a low-profile keyboard so there is nowhere to rest my wrists.

P.S. The keyboard I switched to was designed and built by myself [1]. It is a fantastic first project for someone new to electronics (e.g. me).

I converted to Ortho keyboards with column stagger rather than row stagger and I haven't looked back. If you haven't, I suggest checking out /r/ErgoMechKeyboards for some great options. https://kbd.news/ is also a really good resource, as is https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards.

Check e.g. this github repository for examples of that type of keyboard. Better shell out some $$ and adjust to one of those now than to have tendon/joint/nerve damage for decades.

There are many ready-to-go ones in this list: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards

You should consider adding links to the comparison site for split keyboard kit layouts, and perhaps the list of Awesome Split Keyboards. They're both good starting points for checking out what's out there, though the Awesome list can be a bit outdated by now.

Awesome Split Keyboards will give you an idea of how the boards look and links to vendors or open source projects (ie. sending Gerber files to a PCB fabricator of your choice)

Apologies for the incorrect image link. I assumed it could be edited afterwards. Btw here is the reference image link: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards/blob/master/img/Ergotravel.jpg
