Technically not an ergo board, but in it’s current setup I’m using it as a one handed gamepad. That makes it ergo, right?

After a year off from gaming, I’ve been itching to play. While designing some sort of gamepad, I realized I had basically already designed what I was wanting - Chaz.

After tossing ZMK and an adjusted keymap on it, I think it’ll work well enough while I think about what I really want in a gamepad. If, for some godawful reason, you want one of these - I’ve got a few kits up on my site or if you think you want five of this abomination, it’s Open Source.

    It’s got split space bar, it counts!
    It’s a hilarious board layout but I can see how this could be a left half of am asymmetric split ergo.

    i was going to ask, but this makes a lot more sense. my issue with the one hand boards was the number of keys some games will use in active play

    This is similar to a “Minecraft layer” I added to my last split ergo keyboard. I got all the keys I needed on to the left half. I did it by making a second row of numbers across the top and moving the other rows down. Seeing the number pad on the right here makes me wonder if I should try that design instead.
