[IC] TOMAK (토막) (Tented Split TKL)
Who am I?
I am Syryan - a hardcore keyboard enthusiast whose journey in designing keyboards began when the "Custom Keyboard Hobby" emerged in South Korea, alongside other OTD members and Lin. My designs have always centered around the needs and preferences of our thriving community, which led me to naturally conduct Group-Buys (GBs) within South Korea. However, I am now excited to broaden my horizons and bring my unique expertise to a global clientele through my latest, exceptional keyboard innovation.
At the heart of my design philosophy are two fundamental elements: cutting-edge innovation and unrivaled comfort. With TOMAK, my objective is to craft a keyboard so exquisite that it becomes the epitome of desirability for discerning keyboard users.

Let me share some of my previous designs:
Brick TKL,
Mont Cervin,
Dolphin 60,
Dolphin Pad,
and many more.What is TOMAK (토막)?TOMAK (토막) finds its roots in the Korean language, where it translates to "Fragment." This term perfectly encapsulates the essence of this design.
Why Tented Split TKL?Short answer : more ergonomic = more comfortable
Why TKL?TKL seamlessly combines functionality and compactness
Why Split?To ensure shoulder comfort, particularly for individuals experiencing "Round Shoulder" concerns.
For the gamers, who need more space for the mouse.
Why Tented?For optimal wrist comfort, tenting seamlessly aligns with the wrist's natural angle.
What’s up with additional B, H, Y, 7 Column?Certain individuals use their left hand to type the keys "B, H, Y, and 7," while others prefer their right hand. To accommodate both preferences, I propose adding an extra column for "B, H, Y, and 7" on the left side of the split keyboard, in contrast to its conventional placement on the right side.
