The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

With enough GPIO pins, can I skip diodes?
there is the sweep (https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep). Also there are some sweep variants with 36 keys (https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36)

34 keys vs 36 keys (Ferris Sweep vs Chocofi)
At the time I liked the sweep but there was no 36 option until /u/sadekbaroudi created one: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36

Skeletyl hand soldering ?
With 36 keys you don’t need another controller, just use more pins of elite-c or nice nano. Here is an example of boards with 36 keys without using diodes: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36

having fun with led rings!
Take a look at the swweeep case, as I took this exact approach: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36/tree/master/cases/swweeep

Backlighting Question
https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36 - this derivative of the sweep adds a 3rd thumb key and perkey LEDs to some of his versions.
- it's the swweeep, it's open source, it's wireless only, and it supports the nice!view
-
can someone help me confirm this shopping list for a keyboard?
I want to build a swweeep, a wireless 36-keys variant of the sweep.
-
adding an oled display to the ferris sweep high?
have you already picked up the board and parts? The Sweep36 has oled, rgb, 2 extra keys and remains diodeless due to using an elite-c controller which exposes 5 more GPIO.

Recommendations for a 34 key split keyboard?
Baby Groot Keyboard ( https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/bgkeeb ) Fits in the cheap 100mm*100mm offers with most PCB manufacturers.
-
Cheapino: the cheapest split?
technically, cheapest for several fab shops is if you can get PCB under 100mm × 100mm (ex. Cheapis and bgkeeb)
-
Is this layout dumb?
as a comparison, bgkeeb is another 100×100mm board that manages to fit everything in using MX spacing
-
What are the best designs to cheap out? E.g. Reviung34 only needs 1 controller.
https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/bgkeeb should be fairly cheap to produce. I ordered some from JLC and they cost about 4$. Plates came in at 6$ although you could probably just solder the switches without a plate.
-
my new bgkeeb is great fun
There is a choc supported version, although I'm not sure it's choc spaced: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/bgkeeb/releases/tag/v2.0-choc

Bgkeeb keyboard build completed
This is my latest mechanical keyboard build project, called bgkeeb(baby groot keyboard), made by /u/sadekbaroudi .
- Help with designing a reversible choc hotswappable PCB
-
Choc compatible bgkeeb
This is the bgkeeb
- bgkeeb - cheap (or free!) split pcb with a lot of features! see post comment for details
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sweep36 and bgkeeb you can also consider the following projects:
chocofi - Split 36-key keyboard
keyboard-labs - Repo with my PCB designs and keyboard firmware
picachoc36 - Keyboard with low-profile Choc switches
kotonoha_keyboards - awesome mechanical keyboard ( 30% )
KLOR - KLOR is 36-42 keys column-staggered split keyboard. It supports a per key RGB matrix, encoders, OLED displays, haptic feedback, audio, a Pixart Paw3204 trackball and four different layouts, through brake off parts.
