  • awesome-split-keyboards

    A collection of ergonomic split keyboards ⌨

  • It's kind of interesting, probably the majority of split-keyboards lack F-keys. Heck, a bunch of them even don't have numeric keys, relying on layering instead: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards

  • TBK-Mini

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • dactyl-keyboard

    Parameterized ergonomic keyboard

  • The Advantage360 feels like Kinesis' answer to the DIY Dactyl keyboard — which has a Kinesis-like layout, but which you would have to download, 3D-print, build and solder yourself.

    There is a PCB kit for the Dactyl to reduce the amount of handwiring:

  • arduino-bt-hid-proxy

    Bluetooth HID proxy is implemented using Arduino. Make a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse (WIP) work in BIOS or device without BT stack (e.g. TMK USB to USB Converter)

  • There are forum comments like "wait, what are you trying to do, bluetooth keyboards are only for mobile devices and Macs, aren't they?", like that's an acceptable thing. I'm not sure about Windows, but you can't even wake Linux from sleep with a bluetooth keyboard or mouse!

    I did find this DIY solution while hunting for the apparently non-existent real one: https://github.com/houkanshan/arduino-bt-hid-proxy
