DerBard: Ergonomic split mechanical keyboard
Description
DerBard: an ergonomic split 65 key keyboard with inbuilt palmrests, backwards tilt and per-key RGB lighting License: CC BY-NC-SA For personal non-commercial use. I would love to see some hobbyists get some use from this, if not just inspiration. If you're good with injection moulding, flexible PCB design or own a company that makes unusual keyboards, let me know.

The left half of the keyboard is much too wide to be comfortable, so this should be considered a work in progress. I was able to fix the design for the right half. If you do print it, take care to reduce support density and increase X/Y distance. The main boards are two layers printed together and must be very carefully pried apart. Wiring and soldering is incredibly fiddly.
