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

Nice planter pics in the repo!
Can you tell me about the keycaps you're using? They look "pointier" than the low profile choc keycaps I got from MK Ultra.
Also, how was your experience using Ergogen with Blackpill? When I played with it a while back it really only had built-in footprints for Pro Micro.
I got those keycaps from aliexpress and the choice was purely based on "This is the cheapest I can find", but they are quite ok if you don't mind flat keycaps! I think about 0.2$ per keycap. (and you get free shipping after getting enough of them).
As for Ergogen, sadly I also didn't find any. I imported and used the footprint exclusively from the Kicad PCB stage onwards. It took a bit more of manual work but was quite worth it! Hope someone adds it and the RP controllers eventually, it would be great!
