Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Have been working my way through FlatFootFox’s Let’s Design a Keyboard with Ergogen tutorial – this is just the first iteration
Generating custom boards is a thing?!
It is. The rabbit hole is deeeep.
Ergogen is so good 👌 Writing the firmware is surprisingly easy thanks to zmk / qmk :) Fingers crossed for the future work!
so far I’m kinda in shock at how easy the whole process has been going – was expecting a lot more issues along the way
Gosh, it looks like you have some spare PCBs.
peace of mind when you bork up your soldering
Is it also 4° + 4° splay?
0° + 8° + 4° + 4° + 0° (outside to inside)
Oh, right I completely missed that! Yeah splaytoraid only has 4+4 on ring and pinky
If you haven't decided yet, I find ZMK is a breeze to get the running
already have one half working with QMK – still have to solder the second half before I can test it and then test the serial connection
