like many projects, this too spent way to much time in a 'shelved' state...

the initial motivation was to do another spin of the popular ergodox keyboard, hence the first prototypes where little more than a minimalistic 3d-printed grid to see how much the ergodox layout was to my liking:

it soon became clear that a flat layout wasn't what I was looking for - so began the quest to figure out what makes a good and comfortable curvature...

... but printing out curved and monolithic parts to test the "feel" wasn't very fast and rather wasteful - taking all the fun out of rapid prototyping :-\

splitting and modularizing the key-matrix came to mind...

... but this was way to wobbly and the modules plus supporting parts did take up to much space in the overall construction....

this was a point where the project was shelved and came close to being abandoned :'-(
