Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

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

I've only seen them in the 6x4+thumbs layout not 6x5 option

Yes, but it depends really on what you want to bind where.

In my case, I have no capslock and I have ESC, TAB, shift, ctlr (on the outermost column) and alt, super, lower, space (on the bottom row/thumb. Obviously with qmk (or similar) you can change what you want, but I assumed it was pretty standard layout (in fact, I changed very little from stock keymaps in qmk).

yeah, I want the ctrl in the ctrl spot cuz I press it with my palm when playing games, currently im using an ergodox-ish board I made

Oh I see what you mean, control in the leftmost place in the bottom row. Yeah, that's not possible. I don't use the lily58 to play the games where I have years of muscle memory to be honest.
