tryadactyl
Methodology for custom tuning a concave, column-staggered, split keyboard with thumb clusters (AKA Dactyl). Centered on an OpenSCAD library for designing all sorts of ortholinear-ish keyboards supporting a variety of keycaps including Cherry profile. Additionally supports trackpoints, and 5-way navigation switches. (by wolfwood)

Does a concave keyboard remove the need for finger splay?
the amount of the design space that's been explored is quite small, that's why i built the try-a-dactyl library to foster experimentation, rather than to produce a preconceived shape, with some tunable params.

Any choc scultped boards ?
i added choc support to the try-a-dactyl library recently https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl

Split Ergo with trackpoint?
I've made a ergo/dactyl library that supports trackpoints: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl i use an auto-switched layer to put mouse keys on the thumb buttons when I'm using it

Where is the cambrian-explosion-like equivalent of ergomechkeyboard but for mice ? I want a mouse with a micro trackball where the scroll is.
i have, and I strongly endorse it: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl/blob/try-1/images/facing-pair-jank.jpg

3d printer to print a dactyl manuform.
my project also has an open case design but doesn't shrink the base plate in the same way. you could however modify it so that the struts aren't maintained at a 90° angle and achieve the same effect: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl

"Ergodonk" easter edition
They are SU120. There is a bug in the file that prevents JLCPCB from recognizing/producing them. (I've got a PR in to fix that). Elecrow is fine with it though.

Yucu 2000: 38-40 key super staggered keyboard with single key pcb's
The SU120. Hot swap only, but very clever design. Columns and rows are connected by default, so one only needs to connect the ones you break. The creator has made it available in git (link)

Am i reinventing the wheel? Split ergo ortho with standard keys.
I'm using the su120 boards. They are snap-apart-optional single key pcbs that can be joined with screws rather than wires. (I'm sick of soldering Amoebas for dactyls). You can see them in the upper-left. They support hotswap sockets, rotary encoders, and can be a board by themseleves if you don't break them apart and solder on a pro-micro. I'm concerned about not finding an optimal connector length for the angled thumb pieces - but I'm not above a little bit of soldering now and then.

Is there an Amoeba with MX and choc?
Isn’t the su 120 what you are looking for?

Working on something new
You can also use su120 for this. I made a magnetic adjustable layout tester keyboard using those.

[UK] [H] Dactyl Manuform 5x6 Case [W] Paypal
A set of Dactyl Manuform 5x6 cases with 5-key thumb clusters and external PCB trays printed in clear PLA. Holes have undercut notches for cherry/compatible and small screw holes (M1.4x5 self-tapping screws) to fit SU120 PCBs per key. Comes with threaded inserts and screws for base plates.

[WIP] Kyfle, the flexible split, with options
I used SU120 bit boards (from /u/e3w2, thanks for open-sourcing it!) as a base, to which I added SK6812 mini-e support (had to remove support for choc sockets though).
