Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

MODERATORS
I know this is old but stumbled upon this earlier which appears to be like a gergoplex with a trackpoint as an option:

here's the github: https://github.com/idank/spankbd
Not sure if you're up to go get the PCB printed yourself and interested in similar options:
This one has longer vertical thumb keys: https://github.com/erkannt/neuro36
Really far away thumbs: https://github.com/sboysel/giraffe36
One that seemed to have the thumbs farther was draculad, farther than microdox:

Seen a few places selling kits.

https://keebd.com/en-us/products/draculad-keyboard-kit
There are a fair amount of handwired ones, prototypes, higher key count boards or 2 key thumbs as options for farther away thumb clusters as well. You could also try to get more than 3 thumb keys and not use the ones too close to your thumb.
Might be worth looking through if you haven't already:

Honestly could swear I had seen more, but when I checked 3w6, waterfowl, or several others it was just really long thumb clusters. Not actually lower down on the board away from the alphas sadly.
