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

Looks awesome! Loving the bright blue filament and keycap color choices. I've wanted to build a skeletyl for a while now - this post might just push me to do it.
Whatever you already know would be minimal effort i assume.
I personally like ZMK better, cleaner config file and nicer features for me (mainly combos and mod-tap stuff).
will zmk work with the rp2040 zero from waveshare? it's not ble/wireless here...
ZMK works both wired or wireless, and also on the RP2040. 👍
Edit: I seem to have made up the wired part (wishful thinking?), see below.
Maybe their FAQ is out of date, but this says that ZMK doesn't support wired split keyboards (yet): https://zmk.dev/docs/faq#does-zmk-support-wired-split
Oh, you're totally right, not sure how my brain made up that info...
ZMK works "wired", but the wire will only transmit power.
