mysterium VS awesome-split-keyboards

All the files and instructions are in the designer's Github repositories, see https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/mysterium and https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline

Started with the mysterium TKL case and reduced it to the footprint of the h88 (basic F13 TKL). Had the plate layer cut in 304 stainless steel by sendcutsend and the rest in acrylic by ponoko. Built with H1 switches. The top color layer (mysterium should have a clear layer then solid) is ivory to match most keycaps.

Put the multimeter on continuity mode, which is where it beeps as you put the two probes together. Then go from pad to pad. The ones that should beep, are the ones connected together because they are duplicated on the USB C, but they are never next to each other. Double check the wiring schematics, Mysterium is available on GitHub.

I followed the instructions here and tried typing the make, make flash and make fuse commands. I edited the code to make sure that the programmer in the .inc file is USBasp as per cftkb's instructions here.

I’m wanting to buy a Mysterium but I’m only able to get my hands on the v1. Will the case that u/coseyfannitutti released (https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/mysterium/tree/master/case) work with the v1?

The github files have the instructions on how to get it made at ponoko. cost me about $90 for the kit with pom plate. https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/mysterium/tree/master/case

I converted to Ortho keyboards with column stagger rather than row stagger and I haven't looked back. If you haven't, I suggest checking out /r/ErgoMechKeyboards for some great options. https://kbd.news/ is also a really good resource, as is https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards.

Check e.g. this github repository for examples of that type of keyboard. Better shell out some $$ and adjust to one of those now than to have tendon/joint/nerve damage for decades.

There are many ready-to-go ones in this list: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards

You should consider adding links to the comparison site for split keyboard kit layouts, and perhaps the list of Awesome Split Keyboards. They're both good starting points for checking out what's out there, though the Awesome list can be a bit outdated by now.

Awesome Split Keyboards will give you an idea of how the boards look and links to vendors or open source projects (ie. sending Gerber files to a PCB fabricator of your choice)

Apologies for the incorrect image link. I assumed it could be edited afterwards. Btw here is the reference image link: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards/blob/master/img/Ergotravel.jpg
