Any love for the Pinky board? Freshly built and loving it so far
found it: https://github.com/tamanishi/Pinky4 looks like my next build 😄

Right side of board not working after swapping microcontrollers
I've already used a multimeter to verify that the TRRS cable is connecting the correct pins across both boards on the TRRS connector, and even verified that they're connecting the correct pins on each pro micro controller (e.g. GND to GND, VCC to VCC, Data to Data) according to the PCB layout (https://github.com/tamanishi/Pinky4/tree/master/pcb)

Ask HN: What can I do about my declining typing ability as I age?
In my experience it does become harder to type on staggered keyboards unless you're continuing to do it regularly. You may need to relearn to do that. Same deal with continuing QWERTY usage.
VIA is proprietary and not really an official QMK thing (QMK is free software). There is also Vial[0] which is free software if you want a GUI, and the QMK configurator[1] web app (but this lacks some features like enabling mouse keys or NKRO).
Lastly I want to add that Workman[2] may be preferable to Colemak Mod-DH. Rather than an attempt to fix major issues in Colemak like Mod-DH, it's a whole new layout that avoided the issues from the start. I have also heard from some that it had ortholinear and columnar stagger boards in mind with its design.
I type on a Pinky4[3] keyboard that I assembled from a kit. More keys than your keyboard, but a similar idea. I was coming from a 60% and wanted a similar amount of keys. I've been quite happy with it.

- what is the experience with a 36 key keyboard? Dont you miss the number keys?

Sexiest 7x5 in 2022?
and this one may not fit your requirements since it doesn't have the full bottom row, but a personal favorite, pinky4

Zodiark or Pinky4?
I'm currently evaluating which keyboard to build. There are currently 2 main contenders: zodiark and pinky4 The sofle I also took into consideration but I would like to have a few more keys than 58. There are some pros and cons for both boards

Ideas for thumb-keycaps?
you might want to take a look at PCB designs such as the Pinky4: https://github.com/tamanishi/Pinky4 (or Pinky3)

How do I get started with designing split keyboards ?
You can see an example of this with the Djinn Rev 2a

Choosing keyboard
I have found one with no wireless module (djinn) but i really want a wireless one.

Djinn Rev 2a?
https://i.imgur.com/Z4FZ0t1.jpg Finally reflect I'm done with the hardware. This was my first non-kit board where I had to order all the components myself. Soldering was tough. Blood, sweat and ⠀tears were shed, but I think it was worth it. Big thanks to u/tzarc for the great piece of kit and for all folks on the djinn discord channel for putting up with all my noob questions! All the required info is here: https://github.com/tzarc/djinn Now I just have to learn to type better 😂 Here are some progress pics https://imgur.com/a/5h1qPb1

A Blue Connector Does Not USB 3.0 Make
There may be enthusiast mechanical keyboards that use faster ports. My keyboard uses an Elite-C MCU in each half. I've heard some more modern stuff is switching to ARM for the MCUs.
Here's a keyboard that uses an ARM MCU:

Layout not working correctly after detaching split keyboard while powered on
Most of the open source designs do not have protection on the TRRS connector. There are many kinds of protection that can be built such as for ESD (static electricity), over voltage, over current (short circuit), noise (interference), etc. All of these require components and board real estate. You can check out the Djinn Djinn keyboard It implements protection on the TRRS port and it is a BEAST. The Pro Micro form factor for MCU boards is pretty small so there is limited space for this kind of circuitry. However, if a keyboard has an onboard controller (no separate microcontroller) it might have some protection, at least on the USB connector.

Creating a footprint with copper traces embedded into it. Anyway to make it easier?
You can. I learned from this guy: https://github.com/tzarc/djinn. I just don’t remember how (I haven’t used kicad in a while). You might be able to figure it out by looking at the footprints he used here. Even the MCU footprint is a reversible one with all the traces included iirc.
