Is there an environment variable for RPi Pico compilation
I do it for my keyboard firmware project, it's designed to compile up for Arduino (well, not their IDE, but VS with PlatformIO but it's much of a muchness) https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware

What's wrong with my wiring? Details in comments
code here https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware/blob/main/src/input/MatrixInput.cpp That's dual use code, few #define chunks there for Ardiuno (Teensy) and Pico, but basically (using the more common Arduino syntax) ...

Use bluetooth module for building a bluetooth keyboard
Plan is to add the BLE functionality as another pluggable module to my own firmware https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware

The Banana Splits look amazing.
Indeed. It makes for a neat µC for a keyboard, all that GPIO :-D OP are you planning a complete build ? This might be useful it's a complete pluggable and configurable firmware for PICO based keyboards. Dual compiles to Teensy/Arduino so there are a bunch of conditional blocks but it's fairly straightforward otherwise.

sparkfun rp2040
it's not an actual pro micro though, right ? It's a RP2040 board like the Pi Pico. I didn't know that that was even supported by QMK yet (if that's what you're trying to use). Coincidentally I just started using as a daily driver a custom split board I put together, which has a Pi PICO in either half, talking I2C to one another. Completely custom firmware though, source is here: https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware/tree/pico

Flux Keyboard
I feel like you're out of the loop when it comes to keyboard nerds. Check out the dactyl-manuform [0]. The days of tiny 40/60 keyboards are gone, they aren't cool anymore (joking of course, use what you want).

Problem with whole column of keys

Dactyl Manuform with Amoeba King PCBs -- Keypresses not detected
I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

After over a year of fiddling about she is almost complete..
that's not entirely accurate. It is a derivation of the dactyl-manuform. I used the generator from this project to produce the case. https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard The earliest biuld of the dactyl-manuform that I can find is: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

Dactyl Manuform Licensing for sale
I have been considering making a few Dactyl Manuform's to sell, but I'm not clear on the licensing involved. The github page lists two licenses, one for the source code, for generating the models which does appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub) and one for the generated models themselves, which does not appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE-models at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub).

keyboard for wrist pain?
If you are willing to spend some money, a dactyl manuform would be very nice, especially with custom wrist rests. The dactyl are modular and 3d printable, and a lot of people actually make them with trackballs in them, so you wouldn’t need to worry about an ergonomic mouse. Failing that; something like a moonlander might also be a good option.
