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

Did you order enough PCBs for 5 keyboards or 5 pcbs? Because 5pcbs will only be enough for 2 keyboards.. As for cost I do not know. The convenience of being able to buy something assembled I think is worth a lot tbh
Lol. I ordered 10 cheapino v1 boards and 10 v2. Either one I will use, the other will serve as bottom plate.
I guess the making cost of this keyboard is literally the cost of a PCB kit. You are right. I thought of doubling it.
Hey, when you say you ordered 10 v2, Im getting a bit nervous… Im still working on v2, its not released yet? In fact i just received some prototypes, but havent tested them yet…
I have a v2 branch, but there Are no releases yet…
Yeah, I knew the risks when I ordered it. :D I didnt really want to wait or reorder. But as I said, I also got the v1, I will have a use for the prototypes as cover if they dont work.
Thanks for your work sir!
Okay, cool. Just be aware i changed the wiring, so old fw will not work out of the box…(rows are not shared between halves anymore, i hope this will fix some ghosting)
Ill try to update the fw in the weekend at the latest…
Thank you! Im sorry if that made you worried in any way, I just really wanted the extra functionality.
Sorry to revive this post. I just got into ergo keyboards and am curious what’s the new functionality on the v2 vs v1?
V2 has place to solder hotswap adapters while V1 only lets you solder onto the board.
Oh, that’s great. Thank you
