Scylla VS cheapino

If you have access to a 3D printer, I would recommend handwiring a Skeletyl or Scylla.

Thanks :) Also, its an open source design (not sure) that I found on github, its from Bastardkb (they sell it as a kit but due to hassle of importing from another country i decided to print and handwire it) https://github.com/Bastardkb/Scylla

For those who are curious about what Scylla is, https://github.com/Bastardkb/Scylla

It’s split, but the Scylla has a similar shape

You can find the sources for the case and PCBs in bastardkb github repository: https://github.com/Bastardkb/Scylla

The cheapino is super cheap: https://github.com/tompi/cheapino

If you're looking for a 40s Ergo Split, then the Cheapino is really cheap: https://github.com/tompi/cheapino/ (though you have to source parts & PCB yourself + soldering required)

Is there a project similar to the cheapino with a similar goal of offering a DIY cost-effective monoblock 34/36 key keyboard?

inspired by the cheapino

Depending on how comfortable you are ordering PCBs yourself, the Cantor (https://github.com/diepala/cantor ) or the Cheapino (https://github.com/tompi/cheapino ) might be a good starting point for getting into split keyboards, both are diodeless, so you only need to solder the switches and use relatively cheap microcontrollers

If money is a big concern, you could look for cheaper style boards like this one designed specifically to be on the cheaper side: https://github.com/tompi/cheapino
