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.

Altering an existing split design to be for wireless first?
I've been inspired by projects like Corne Ultralight, Urchin, and Brain. I like how these boards have wireless first.

Endgame only because there isn't much further to go, Urchin with Sunsets and Bic lighter caps, living that green life.
Basically the urchin is wireless only with support for the nice views. You can read more on the GitHub page for it here: https://github.com/duckyb/urchin
- So. Fucking. Excited.

What board for wireless 34 key? Just build another sweep?
How about the Urchin.

Anyone know where to obtain these gradient blue color key caps from?
For sure! I am deciding between a Ferris sweep and an Urchin. The Urchin is here: https://github.com/duckyb/urchin

[EU-IT] [H] Urchin PCBs (34key Split Ergo) [W] PayPal
This is a new project of mine, if you want to have a better look check the github repository where there are all the info you might want: https://github.com/duckyb/urchin

Here is my new daily driver, the Urchin!
If you would like to try a 34 key layout I would recommend starting with the Sweep, which is a very beginner friendly build. If you have already built a couple keyboards and want to go full wireless then the Urchin is for you.
Here! https://github.com/duckyb/urchin
