ErgoMechKeyboards
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

Ooh that was an interesting approach. Glad you got it to work. In my case, I just replaced the failed battery with a new, temporary one (of dubious quality), then patched everything together with some rough soldering work and electrical tape.
:) At the time, I didn’t even own a soldering iron, and I wouldn’t have known what to do with it if I did!
Repairing that battery myself later down the line was the first bit of soldering I ever did, which allowed me to then go on and build my first board.
If I’m reading you right, glad to hear you’re all sorted.
Nice job! Yeah, all is sorted out... for now xD There's a chance something might come loose but at least I can access my tools back home soon-ish! Meanwhile, thinking how best to prevent this issue for my next build...
