ErgoDash VS crkbd

I'm looking to build and use the right half of an ErgoDash keyboard as a fully programmable gamepad. I'm currently using an OLKB Peronic and while it's serviceable, I'm driven to find/make something better. So before I dive head first into this, does anyone have any experience with ErgoDash keyboards? If there's some fundamental flaw I'm missing or if there's a better option out there, please let me know.

Could someone please assist me or point me to somewhere I can get assistance with building/diagnosing an Ergodash. https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash

I'm building (another) ErgoDash and I'm considering adding only underglow lights (with RGB WS2812B LEDs) and not backlights. However the documentation wrapes them together and I'm not sure whether the additonal components - a MOSFET and a 1k Ohm resistor - are needed for the underglow. Anyone knows? Can there be any harm (i.e. shorting something) in trying without them?

If you want a compact split with plenty of keys, I would recommend the ergodash, which is open sourced and can be bought prebuilt.

ErgoDash (general info https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash)

I flashed the firmware in this repo for both sides. Then I connect the keyboard into my computer and start Via. But it keeps searching for devices... BTW, I see some posted that Ergodash is supported in Via but cannot find the firmware in the official document here . Was it removed or something else?

I started with an ErgoDash [1], purchased because my Microsoft/Logitech split keyboards had worn out, and at the time I couldn't find a replacement with normal (not low profile) keys. It has a few additional keys compared to the Iris. I have one at work and another at home, and to make them more similar to the broken keyboards I 3D printed angled bases. I use it for 99% of my typing.

I should probably have tried a Kinesis Advantage 2 first.

I'm partway through printing/assembling a Lagrange keyboard [2] (I'm currently stuck working out how to order the circuit boards), which is similar to the Dactyl. I will add the F1-F12 keys to my print, as they're the only thing I miss -- if a shortcut in my IDE is Ctrl+Shift+F10, it's nice for it to be that, not Ctrl+Shift+Fn+0.

I made [3] to help others see what's available.

What about ergodash. Has an additional inner column, and an extra couple of thumbs.

Hello, building an Ergodash, I have some questions concerning flashing the pro micros:

I was warned by a colleague that this was a rabbit hole, then warned by people online, and I'll pass on that warning now.

I tried to help by updating and better-presenting an existing list of ergonomic mechanical keyboards: https://aposymbiont.github.io/split-keyboards/

I'm using an ErgoDash¹ with a 3D-printed tilted stand, but I intend to assemble a Lagrange² "soon".

Looks at the order here : https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/issues/96

I followed this guide for the build (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/corne-classic/doc/buildguide_en.md)

Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.

Want to say the corne board drawings etc are available at https://github.com/foostan/crkbd as well, if you fancy learning kicad you might be able to tweak them yourself ... though that is definitely the deep end of things...

For the layout, I took inspiration from the CRKBD and the Boardsource's Microdox.

This is the numbered LED series from the Corne Classic Build Guide (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/corne-classic/doc/buildguide_en.md)

I would need hex file from here https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/doc/firmware_en.md and then i need to run flash command . Il read through it one more time, it seems that i use same hex file for both sides.
