Oddly Satisfying - Completed my first noob build WREN keyboard ported to VIAL and ELITE PI
The PCB, Bottom Plate and Top Plate were all ordered through JCLPCB based on the GEBERS available on github. For anyone following this build please note the top plate GEBERs have tolerance issues so after I got the plate delivered, I had to Dremel the switch holes they were too tight for the switches to fit.

is there any split southpaw keyboard?
How about the wren. You can reprogram the keys on the left to arrows keys.

Is there like a 75% iris ergo keyboard?

Looking for PCBs or KiCad files for 100% split keyboard.
theres the wren which is pretty big but with no f-row

Does a 100% split keyboard exist?
The Wren keyboard is not a 100% board but it has a standard system cluster and a full numpad. It's missing the entire function row including the escape key and prntscrn. Might be what you're looking for.
-
80%-100% split PCBs other than KBO-5000?
The Wren can be setup with both a numpad and navigation cluster.

Birds of a Feather...
The hardware and build guide are all open source, and you can find the software in the main QMK repository soon™ or in my fork right now. Enjoy!

Half Down, Half to Go
Nope! The Breeze is great, but it only offers a nav cluster as an option. This is my design the Wren, which is designed to allow you to have a numpad OR a nav cluster on either side. It’s source files are available at the GitHub link above, though since this is the first build I’d recommend you wait until I make sure it works.

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I had trouble with HMR as well at the beginning, but since switching to sunaku's fork/PR I've almost eliminated all the issues I had with it. And worth mentioning is urob's timeless HMR config from which I think the fork/PR takes some of its inspiration.

Affirmative. I updated my fork and my clone last week. I also did a second, fresh clone and merged this PR: https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.

BATTLESHIP ERGO(but dumb?)
Well, things like Bilateral Combinations are aware of which hand is using the modifier to only apply it to the other side's presses & minimise accidental triggering on same-hand rolls.
