Loving it so far. Moved from a Corne and the pinky stagger and especially the thumb cluster are so much more comfortable for me on this one.

Currently using Gateron Brown v3 switches and Cheap OEM profiles from Aliexpress

Is there a reason behind using an RJ45 instead of a 3 or 4 wire audio cable?

The 8 wires of the RJ45 cable are all used, allowing to have only one MCU. Also, RJ45 cables and connectors are cheap and common.

To manage all these keys with only 8 wires, a special “duplex matrix” is used.

and I guess you can unplug it without short cutting something like a TRRS does?

In theory yes. In practice, I never had problem hot plugging my trrs on my keyseebee board.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

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
