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!

How to print a PCB? [Sofle V2 PCB printing]
These are the gerber files https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/tree/master/Gerbers/v2 but when I download and put them into the printing websites I found myself with a lot of options I dont understand.

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.

(SOFLE V2) How is my build list looking! (EXCEL + Breakdown!)
https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/tree/master/Gerbers is the gerbers for the sofle PCBs.
- Is there a split keyboard with a knob, wireless, and f key row?

[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 ?

Did I get get two of the same Sofle V2 pcb?
Have a look at the official build guide for a picture of the inserted controllers.

Alpha with 3d printed circuit board plate
I used 2 different tools to model this. 1. KiCad : converted pcb (https://github.com/PyrooL/Alpha) to step file using this. 2. Fusion360 : Since the available alpha PCB was solder only type, I had to modify the generated step file to support MX the hotswap socket (3d files for which is also available online for kailh type, but I was using Gateron ones so It took some trial and error)

Where can I find a small enough keyboard to fit inside of a 8 x 4.75 x 1 inch box? I want an actual keyboard, not those tiny thumb keyboards that I have right now
Here's the smallest mechanical keyboard possible, 24 keys: https://github.com/PyrooL/Alpha

I think I just achieved a negative WPM score
Yeah it’s painful. Here’s a guide for the default keymap https://github.com/PyrooL/Alpha/blob/master/keymap/README.md
