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

Thank you! It seems I might be able to just start the build process. Is it easy to install the battery later? I would assume I might need to remove the nice!nano and reinstall it? Would I then need to desolder?
@nan_1337 @Gumshoe do yourself a favor and socket the mcu. You’re going to hate nothing as much as desoldering an MCU again
I am super sorry for being such a noob, but can
be used to socket the board? And if yes: Do I solder the ones with pins only on one side to the pcb and the other ones to stick into the holes and solder to the nice!nano?
@nan_1337 if they fit each other (and the PCB) the „standard“ would be to solder the sockets to the PCB and the headers to the MCU. And no worries, everyone sarted somewhere 😉
