- stonecharioteer 6y agoYou could just get a corne and set up only one hand. Would have to play a lot with layers if you want all keys though.
- lawn 6y agoMaybe a dactyl manuform would be good? (Google it). You can 3D print only one half and hand-wire the rest yourself.
- Luc 6y agoNot what you're asking but used one-handed Maltron keyboards can often be had for little money on ebay UK. There's one for 45 Pounds at the moment. Bit clunky and creaky though. Personally I'd get a Kinesis Advantage with a footswitch. Use one half of they keyboard as is, and the footswitch to change the layout.

- slightwinder 6y agoYou can just buy one for $20-60 at amazon or your prefered chinese importer. DIY will always be more expensiv than that.
