Thanks!
have you considered just building a corne, snapping off the 6th column (as most corne PCBs allow) and only soldering 2 of keys in the thumb cluster?
(it’s 34, btw, the sweep has 34 keys)
Yes. Ordered a Corne. Will break of the outer column. And thanks for the correction. Updated the post
It all depends on what sort of mashup you want exactly. Keep in mind that some of the official cornes have a break-off 6th column so you can get close to the same key count as a Sweep (36 instead of 34). Here are some that might come close.
Nice. Thanks
When you say “stagger”, do you mean not-ortholinear? If so, I’m confused as both the Sweep and Corne are ortholinear.
There’s a habit among ergo keyboard enthusiasts to refer to columnar staggered keyboards as “ortholinear”. Ortholinear became a term for anything that’s not row staggered like a traditional keyboard, even though it’s not technically correct. Columnar stagger is a more corrrect term for stuff like corne or sweep. I mean I get it. I could switch between an ortho and a collumnar stagger pretty easily, but every time I have to type on a “normal” keyboard I fall flat on my face.
Yes. Correct. I mixed it up again. I mean the vertical offset of course. Thanks for clarifying.

no they aren’t, they’re colstaggered.
