Unibody/Unsplit/Monoblock Cheapino alternative?
I was thinking something along the lines of the cheapis, but not held together by the MCU and made of one PCB.

Cheapino: the cheapest split?
technically, cheapest for several fab shops is if you can get PCB under 100mm × 100mm (ex. Cheapis and bgkeeb)

What are the best designs to cheap out? E.g. Reviung34 only needs 1 controller.
If you're looking for something very cheap /u/PM_ME_YOUR_MAINFRAME recently posted their Cheapis keyboard.

Recommend me a 34 keys DIY split keyboard for my use case.
PCB: Which PCB is good for me? A margin-space keys keyboard or no-margin-space keyboard? In the 1st photo of the Sweep, there is no margin space between keys. However, Urchin and Cheapis have margin space between keys. I am using Thinkpad X1 Carbon and Framework Laptop. And I am more comfortable with a keyboard with margin spaces between keys. However, I want to know the benefit of the no-margin-space keyboard, and how easy it's to get used to.
- Cheapis! A very cheap alternative to ferris and sweep. Good for experimenting with a 34 key layout.

Is there a joined corne?
More like corne mini but I really dig the CrowBoard!

Diagnostics on Keyboard PCB Shorting A Key
I'm having an issue on my Crowboard build that one of the switches is shorted pressed even with the switch and diode removed. I've tried multiple raspberry pi picos to prove that wasn't the issue at least.

I’m really digging the crowboard by Doesntfazer (keyboardDweebs.net). 36 keys, one mcu (pi pico, way better than the pro micro and has more memory, cheaper too and is available on Amazon). STL files for case is available. Pre made vial firmware available as well. Only downside is that you’ll need to solder some diodes. Other than that it’s pretty cheap to make and put one together. You can go caseless/plateless.

Keyboard Dweebs migration over to Shopify is a success! Crowboard's are IN STOCK!
Good news! Keyboard Dweebs is an open source/GNU company. Files are here. You're welcome to get them make them, and even sell them.

my work setup is starting to look pretty awesome! New Deskmat
I updated the build guide last night if you wanna check it out. My pcb vendor just shipped those out this morning, so I am hoping I get them in sometime in the next week? As soon as those come in, I will ship out all the backorders. Usually shipping isn't more than a week.
