rae-dux VS cephalopoda

The word I think you're looking for is splay. I haven't seen it done any keywell boards but it's on a few different flat boards like the rae dux. https://github.com/andrewjrae/rae-dux

The layout in the thumbnail is very close to one I just built (not my design), Rae-dux, if you want to save yourself a bunch of time.

2x rae-dux halves (see https://github.com/andrewjrae/rae-dux), more pics available here. $15 AUD for both.

Allow me to indroduce the Owl, yet another 5x3 + 3 keyboard ! This is a modified version of the rae-dux, the layout being the same, except with MX spacing. As for the rae-dux, it is wireless only.

So, purely out of my own needs, and since the Sweep doesn't quite cover that, I'd love a 3W6 or a Roost. Or even a Rae-dux.

There is samoklava and rae-dux, and you can look through the layouts listed in this comparison tool for more. As for ones with a trackball, the Charybdis and its nano variant come to mind.

https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda it’s the architeuthis dux

It's on the main page here: https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda latest release of architeuthis dux: https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/releases/tag/architeuthis-dux-202108062008

The basics are you download the 'gerber' from the github repo and upload it to jlcpcb or another pcb fab (which fab you chose changes which options are available like solder mask color).

Yeah, it's a gorgeous board, on both sides. https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/blob/main/Images/architeuthis_dux.png

Yep! You can find the gerbers and the Ergogen config file I used here. I ended up adding some features to Ergogen while designing, so unfortunately the config won't work with current versions of Ergogen.
