Travel keyboard options
Closest split PCB based design with a Kinesis Advantage thumb cluster, I know of, is the Ergodox Would need tenting to emulate the keywells. Lovingly design and print a case with tenting legs for it? 🤔

I built a second ErgoDox to keep at the office. This is my first set of MT3 caps and I LOVE them.
Should be in here somewhere: https://github.com/Ergodox-io/ErgoDox

Keyboard Latency
> Is ZSA's build known to have latency issues compared to QMK?
ZSA is using a patched QMK - they even let you download the exact source for each firmware build they make for you. At the time when I switched to vanilla QMK (that was already some years ago), ZSA were veeery far behind master; running the latest QMK release fixed a couple of issues for me (like hotplugging the halves), so I guess there could be other improvements? No idea really.
> Would a faster microprocessor help
In the MCU world, latency and clock speed can have a very linear relationship - until they suddenly don't. The microcontroller's job is very simple really: scan the key matrix at a certain frequency, perform key debouncing, compare the current state with the previous, and craft a USB HID packet with key press/release events.
So having twice the clock speed could theoretically let you scan twice as often, so it might let you cut the latency in half. Except we have those pesky physics getting in our way! For simplicity let's assume we don't have split halves (where there's an extra serial connection slowing things down); I'm no EE so I only grasp these concepts at the surface level, but signals take time to propagate, and long traces on the PCB (and cables too) have a tiny bit of their own capacitance. (Capacitors are like really fast, really tiny batteries - but they still take a tiny amount of time to charge and discharge, which does all sorts of interesting things to high-frequency signals.)
On top of that, the electrical connection that the pieces of metal are making inside the switch, are never perfect at the exact instant the switch is supposed to (de)register: a couple electrons might start jumping over the air even before contact is made, and the physical connection is subject to normal wear, amplifying the "edge case" effect over its lifetime - which all together means we have to actually spend a certain amount of time "looking" at the state of the switch, to let it settle and make sure we got it right.
We end up spending so much time letting physics do its job that in a trivial firmware, the MCU is actually spending a significant amount of time... just sleeping. Which means we were later able to cram all sorts of madness like individual RGB lightning or status displays, and never decreased the poll rate.
Where would these 40ms come from then? Well I wouldn't get near the problem without an oscilloscope, and unfortunately I don't have one.
> I'm just starting to get into custom keyboards.
Then I recommend studying the original ErgoDox firmware & build instructions! It's extremely straightforward compared to a beast like QMK, which actually uses a whole RTOS.

Hotkeys in ergodox?
Hi! Does anyone here have some experience playing age on an ergodox? I usually move the right part out of the way so that I can have more space for the mouse (it is actually great for things like FPS because the mouse hand is in a very natural position), but the default hotkeys force me to move my left hand across both sides, making it hard to actually hit the key without looking. I've been only using control groups 1-5 due to this, which is less than optimal.

Broke my 4th MS Sculpt in 6 years, so I finally made the switch to mechanical.
The closest open source keyboard you'll get next to the Moonlander is probably the ErgoDox that it's heavily inspired from.

Review Request for Split, Ergo Keyboard PCB
I made changes to the [Sofle Keyboard](https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard) to be in a layout I prefer. I was wondering if I could get a review/sanity check to make sure it will be fine. I didn't make any real changes beyond adding a key so I don't think there was too much room for error. It produced a clean DRC run for both the schematic and pcb. However this is my first forray into keyboard pcb design, so I wanted to make sure that it will work. I primarily wanted the potential option to go wireless in the future which I've seen you are able to do with the sofle. Thank you!

Build the Kapl
When designing it, I was inspired by the Lily58 and Sofle keyboards. I wanted to create a keyboard that is both gaming friendly and easy to learn when moving from a standard keyboard.

Looking for input on pinky stagger when comparing low profile corne, Solfe v1, Sofle v2, and Lily58 Pro
Please note, it is specifically the Sofle v2, not the Sofle v1 nor the Sofle v2.1 RGB, that has the greater pinky stagger. The Sofle v2 Choc has a pinky stagger between the v1 and v2. See https://josefadamcik.github.io/SofleKeyboard/ for more info.

[design] I spent some time in KiCad over the weekend, and this is the result: Stáňa AKA Sofle Unsplit v0.1
Really cool work! Would love to make a version without the number row (48 key is better for me when traveling) and make it wireless. Will it be in a new repository or will it be added to https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard ?
