A Split Keyboard Designed For Human Hands

A hobbyist named Paul designed a split, low-profile ergonomic keyboard from scratch after roughly 50 design iterations, aiming to build around the natural shape of human hands rather than the legacy typewriter layout. The design angles and spaces each finger column individually, raises the ring finger row, angles index columns inward, and uses a 36-key layout with three thumb keys per side (spacebar plus two layer keys), eliminating the traditional wasteful dual-thumb spacebar.
