• 34 keys, wired ortholinear unibody
  • WeAct Pi Pico
  • Choc Silvers (hotswap)
  • Chicago Steno (all R3) in black resin
  • simple 3dp tray case (friction fit at the moment)

This board is helping me fall back in love with chocs. Going to iterate on the design a bit (want to try wireless, PCB solder nuts, tweaks to the case, etc). Shoutout to the friendly folks on the ergogen server for helping with some firmware questions and build troubleshooting. I tried to get a little too cute with the matrix, trying to save pins even though I was nowhere close to running out. But in the end, works like a charm.

I think because I’m so used to a laptop keyboard, uniform profiles just feel better to me.

i see :) well CS is definitely my favourite choc profile, so i can see how it would also work uniformly!

Would you mind making it 36 keys, 3 Thumb keys? Then I am in to try it out… Looks like a great 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
