I daily drive a tiny 34-key that I designed and built from scratch. The split design allows me to type while keeping my hands separated and my elbows rested on my chair’s armrests while the low amount of keys makes your hands stay at the home row with all keys within reach. Moreover the keyboard is ultra portable. Both sides stick together with magnets on their backsides and occupy roughly the same volume as a modern smartphone, fitting confortably in any pocket.

If not, I can recommend another similar project with ample documentation and community support: Sweep.
I have other handwired, 3D-printed keyboard designs:
I don’t manage my own email server and emails sent to [email protected] are redirected to an email account from a big email provider. If you are concerned about privacy, send me encripted mail.
I like cycling. Mostly road, sometimes offroad.
