pluckey VS awesome-split-keyboards

Hi, I want to build my first ergonomical keyboard and I have chosen the Pluckey (https://github.com/floookay/pluckey/tree/main), probably using the 5x7. My question is what exactly would be everything I need to buy (Except for the key-caps and switches) to make this keyboard hot-swap.

November 2021 I got "pluckey (pre-built)" and MX Ergo. While tinkering keymap I got to know about Miryoku by u/manna_harbour because of that I sold pluckey and

2 weeks ago I was looking for a 36 key keyboard which can have choc support and aggressive pinky stagger I found "chocofi". I received the free PCB as part of scheme from allpcb.com. On 5th November 2021 I have received "Pluckey" it was good and while tinkering with keymaps I found about "Miryoku" I applied it immediately on Pluckey and felt a lot of difference. Now my Pluckey is up for sale in r/mechmarket. I'll also give one set of chocofi with it since I have 5 PCBs.

I found https://github.com/floookay/pluckey that seems perfect layout wise, but missing at least one OLED (I'm putting active layer, and caps lock/ctrl/shift/alt status + a nice logo for fun), and no native hotswap (I know this can be worked around with mill max, but having native hotswap is nicer as it doesn't makes the key higher).

Yeah I'd imagine. I built something similar recently. Without hulling, just basic union and cut operations and in the end had very mixed results depending on the material/settings I printed it. It's also way less advanced than your code and doesn't support any angled keys. Ultimately I gave up on it because my approach was too flawed

You can find all the necessary files (and a few more pictures) here: https://github.com/floookay/pluckey

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
