hillside VS void_ergo

Only two thumb keys seems like it could be a pain. I don't love trying to figure out the timing delays for tap vs hold. After a long search I settled on the Hillside 46 [1][2] which has 4 thumb keys and a splayed layout. Also choc spacing, as I didn't love the gaps between choc keycaps with mx spacing. Not sure why, as the macbook pro keyboard doesn't seem to give me any problems.

I like the all the case options and mods available to the ZSA keyboards. The biggest problem with building your own I feel is the cost of getting a nice, solid feeling case.

There are a few things that are close: * The Cantor/Piantor: more aggressive stagger and slightly changed thumb cluster. * The Swept Corne: essentially a big sweep. * The Hillside 46/48: This comes in many forms which are very similar to what you are looking for. Essentially an extra aggressive stagger (and perhaps splayed) Corne with a bigger thumb cluster.

I don’t have personal experience no. If you want to compare, here is a image of the key location: https://github.com/mmccoyd/hillside/blob/main/hillside46/doc/image/hill46_keys.png others exist for the other sizes in similar places. You can print this out, making sure you size so that the keys are properly spaced, and then compare that way

the first thing that pops into my head is something like the Hillside 52/56?

I'd recommend a Hillside. If you're not into the splay, there's the 48 and the 56. https://github.com/mmccoyd/hillside

I'll inset M2 nuts using a soldering iron and the screw it in. I also saw an interesting mounting solution on this project, might steal the idea: https://github.com/victorlucachi/void_ergo

Cheapest would be a 3D printed hand wire keyboard. The only expensive part would be the switches and keycaps. The rest would be in the range of Pennie’s to a few dollars. For an ergo, you can look at the V0ID ergo which is designed to be printed and hand wired. You can then use any controller (the cheapest would be a Arduino Pro Micro clone off AliExpress. Yes, it will take time and work to make it but it will be the cheapest thing you can make. You can even look for used mechanical keyboards to get the switches and keycaps from if you want, or look on AliExpress for them.

Hey Everyone! I recently designed and built this keyboard after wanting an ergo mech keyboard and wanting to use the WorkLouder keycaps! I really wanted to make something that would be easy for anyone to replicate so I spent a lot of time focusing on the GitHub page so you can have all the resources available if you want to build one yourself! I would absolutely love to get this board in the official QMK repo so that I can upload the VIA keymap. This would allow anyone who builds this to be able to pop the keyboard in and have VIA load the config automatically. If you have some spare time, I would love some reviews on my pull request here (QMK encourages anyone, even if you aren’t a official contributor to review pull requests) This build was heavily inspired by the Void Ergo S keyboard which was my starting point. I also learn a lot about wiring from Joe Scotto, so thanks so much!

Found a handwired split board that was interesting, but seems to not be getting updates (Void Ergo by victorlucachi) and wanted to try it out, I Just had two questions:
