  • Thank you for the feedback!

    Tbh, I saw ben vallack’s videos that used ergogen to build some keyboard - but I didn’t put that much effort trying to learn kicad; this Will be my excuse to try that out! At the same time, Joe scotto tempted with his guide to handwiring and it felt like a breeze, but It Is a time consuming process that can lead to a lot of problems if It isn’t used a good soldering iron.

    Still thank you for the tip on the grid size and angles! Surely Will Speed up the process





  • Thank you for the question, I tried a more circular low angled thumb cluster (you can see it on the top left plate) and it has its pros and cons:

    As you stated the pro is the confort because our thumb movement are circular and not linear;

    On the other hand the angled linear solution i found gave me the chance to fit a magnetic disc under the thumb cluster and felt more aesthetically pleasing, also because this keyboard is inspired by the little nine-nano by bsag (that has a linear thumbcluster)!

    So i found that in good balance between confort, aestethic and functionality!
