"KeyChron brought the world's first split keyboard that retained the vibe of a regular keyboard to spice up the rather boring accessory, which has seen ergonomic design changes, addition of custom keys, and not much of a design DNA evolution. The idea of a PC split keyboard stems from the notion that it alleviates long-term strain and gives the user more freedom to set up a productive desk layout."
"That's the reason why a DIYer decided to create an open-source 3D printable split mechanical keyboard case for the Halycon Elora. With this tweak, the everyday accessory feels more comfortable to work with, especially for long sessions. To take things a step further, the custom design makes sure you have a case to put the keyboard in, literally fitting like a glove."
"The barebone Elora keyboard does look a bit incomplete and could hamper the look of your desk setup. Nor does it provide any support for your wrist, which prompted Fatih to draw inspiration from the Kinesis Wrist Pads to create the perfect split keyboard case for the accessory. After careful planning, he made a prototype that added a 5-degree tilt to the keyboard for better reach, especially for people with small hands."
The Halycon Elora is a split mechanical keyboard based on the Kria design with an extra row for numbers and symbols to aid fast typing. The bareboard Elora lacks wrist support and can look incomplete on a desk. A DIY open-source 3D printable case adds a 5-degree tilt, integrated magnetic wrist pads, rubber stops, and customizable top and bottom plates to enhance comfort and stability during long sessions. The case optionally supports attaching an encoder, touchpad, or display and provides dual USB-C ports on the left half and one on the right. The design accommodates Kinesis leather wrist pads and improves ergonomics for small hands.
