I wanted to build a split Ergo from scratch, with a slightly more aggressive stagger than the Lily58 style board I had previously built. I also wanted to have a stabilized 2U spacebar and some RGB. The part that was most time-consuming was definitely designing the case in CAD and getting the switches and stabilizers to fit properly. Fortunately, it’s all pretty well documented so there wasn’t too much trial and error involved. Overall, it turned out pretty well!
This is really, really cool. I would love to do this one day. How does it feel to type on? Any reason you didn’t make a PCB? They’re really cheap these days
