Personally I’d want just to connect two standard keyboards. One for each hand. But then I’d need a keyboard driver that will let the shifting keys on one keyboard affect key actions on the other keyboard. Is it hard to write my own keyboard driver?
- Symbiote 6y agoLinux and (I think) Windows support this for Shift and Ctrl. Linux did not support it for Alt, last time I tried.
- tincholio 6y agoShifting and other modifiers will work ok for USB HID keyboards. Layers, however, won't, so that's why you typically need to connect both halves of a split keyboard. Also, having two "half-keyboards" takes up less space than using two full ones. Re: the driver, it's not terribly hard to get the basics working (debouncing, matrix scanning, etc), but you'd probably be better off using QMK, since it's well tested and has pretty much every feature you might need, and then some.
