Hi Undertheradar,
I made a split keyboard recently from a couple of cheap wireless ones.
It might seem wasteful to have used two, but I wanted to avoid wiring them together (Its mounted on the arms of my chair) and to do it tirelessly (with one) would have needed an extra wireless board.
I have no idea why split keyboards are not more common, or why there does not appear to be a wireless one in production.
Anyhow, it is easy enough to do with standard membrane ones since you can fold or roll the extra membrane to avoid having to cut it. This does limit you when it comes to moving the relative positions of keys.
It worked perfectly for about 6 months until I spilt coffee on half of it
If soaking it in water doesn't work I'll be working on version two, I'm thinking a track ball/pad on the left half would make the pieces more equally sized
Could you provide some details on how you did this? I'm really interested in doing the same kind of thing. Thanks.
