A fresh delivery from JLC is always fun

Have been working my way through FlatFootFox’s Let’s Design a Keyboard with Ergogen tutorial – this is just the first iteration

  • number of keys of a Corne, aesthetics of Splaytaroid, less aggressive splay than A. dux
  • next big challenge is dealing with the firmware
  • deciding whether I want to keep it split or go monoblock (Reviung41 or Splaytaroid)
  • following iterations with work with implementing the fancy features – switch plate, bottom plate, case of some sort, RGB, OLED
markstos,

Gosh, it looks like you have some spare PCBs.

peace of mind when you bork up your soldering

freya_lou,

Is it also 4° + 4° splay?

0° + 8° + 4° + 4° + 0° (outside to inside)

freya_lou,

Oh, right I completely missed that! Yeah splaytoraid only has 4+4 on ring and pinky

JustBrian7872,

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

Bondrewd,

Generating custom boards is a thing?!

JustBrian7872,

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
