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

As far as I know that's how it should work by default. The functions for handling OLED displays are running on each half separately.
At least that's how it worked when I recently built a Zygomorph 3 with a 128x32 I2C OLED display on each side. Shouldn't be much different from your plan, except for the self-designed PCB of course.
Yeah, this shouldn't be a problem at all. tzarc's Djinn is an example of dual screens.
Awesome, thank you!
something people havent mentioned yet but that i ran into as a problem: qmk doesnt support per-key lighting in the sense that you cant have specific colours for each key. it supports per-key lighting in the sense that you can do effects, but you cant set the alphas to be a different colour from the ergo keys, for instance.
Ah good to know. But honestly, it’s just a bit of coloured back lighting I’m looking for.
Yes you can. But you have to address the rgbs as a true matrix which is a fair bit more work.
Only thing to note is to check qmk docs if the screens controller is supported by default. If it is, it’s easy. If not it takes more work.
