I designed a small 30% keyboard based on hexagonal keycaps. The source files can be found on github. It runs the FAK firmware.
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

People pointed me towards your keyboard when I showed them mine. I was not aware of your very nice board when I designed mine. The 3D structure of your keyboard is very interesting. I would love to try it once.
The hexapoda is my 3rd to 6th keyboard PCB design, depending on how you count different variations of my hexatana keyboards and whether or not you include a very simple numpad PCB I once design for a keyboard/arduino workshop.
You are correct, the layout for my hexapoda supports 5 index keys and 2 pinky keys and two thumb keys per side. However aver having typed on the board a bit, I only use one pinky key and only 3 index keys. I do not type on the inner index keys. I might do a new version of the board, where I remove the unused keys.
