Split keeb pros: you can prototype quickly, one side at a time
I'll inset M2 nuts using a soldering iron and the screw it in. I also saw an interesting mounting solution on this project, might steal the idea: https://github.com/victorlucachi/void_ergo

What is the cheapest split ergo with a decent thumb cluster ?
Cheapest would be a 3D printed hand wire keyboard. The only expensive part would be the switches and keycaps. The rest would be in the range of Pennie’s to a few dollars. For an ergo, you can look at the V0ID ergo which is designed to be printed and hand wired. You can then use any controller (the cheapest would be a Arduino Pro Micro clone off AliExpress. Yes, it will take time and work to make it but it will be the cheapest thing you can make. You can even look for used mechanical keyboards to get the switches and keycaps from if you want, or look on AliExpress for them.

Designed and built my first setup! Full Github in comments! Help me get it into QMK :)
Hey Everyone! I recently designed and built this keyboard after wanting an ergo mech keyboard and wanting to use the WorkLouder keycaps! I really wanted to make something that would be easy for anyone to replicate so I spent a lot of time focusing on the GitHub page so you can have all the resources available if you want to build one yourself! I would absolutely love to get this board in the official QMK repo so that I can upload the VIA keymap. This would allow anyone who builds this to be able to pop the keyboard in and have VIA load the config automatically. If you have some spare time, I would love some reviews on my pull request here (QMK encourages anyone, even if you aren’t a official contributor to review pull requests) This build was heavily inspired by the Void Ergo S keyboard which was my starting point. I also learn a lot about wiring from Joe Scotto, so thanks so much!

Handwired 3D printed VOID Ergo S build
No, this is Victor's project: https://github.com/victorlucachi/void_ergo
- This is the weirdest keyboard I have ever built

Handwired Board, how to solder TRS?
Found a handwired split board that was interesting, but seems to not be getting updates (Void Ergo by victorlucachi) and wanted to try it out, I Just had two questions:

Exist a PBC generator friendly for MS Ergo-like keyboards?

PCB design and production for a 1-off?
If you decide to go down this rabbit hole (which is a totally doable thing, by the way, as the others have already noted), then you might want to look into Ergogen. To be fair, it won't save you from KiCAD, but it could make the journey a bit easier.

How to get a PCB designed for an Ergo Mech?
Contractual PSA: if you're willing to get your hands dirty, you could try Ergogen (tool, Discord). There might already be a pretty close starting point that you only need to modify a bit if you ask around. Alternatively, there might be people in the server who'd be willing to do a commission - some are fucking machines when it comes to curning out great designs one after the other...

Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4: A Beginner's Guide To Designing Custom Ergonomic Keyboard PCBs
Howdy y'all! 👋 Ergogen, the ergonomic keyboard layout generator app, recently hit v4! I've been enjoying using this tool for a while now, so I decided to collect everything I've learned into a series of step-by-step articles outlining the basics of Ergonomic keyboard PCB creation.

I made an ergogen based corne clone
Hey thanks! Ergogen made this entire project super approachable. Also thanks for being so quick to fix #86

I chased the endgame to the point where I designed and built my own custom split columnar staggered keeb - or Spleeb!
Doing more research I couldn't find anything that really fit what I was looking for. At this point I decided to build my own keyboard, from the design of the PCB to the 3D model of the chassis. I used Ergogen to get the layout and outline of the plate, KiCad for the PCB, Fusion 360 for the chassis, and QMK for the firmware. All in all it took me probably 2 to 3 months of work in my spare time (I had next to no "Electronic Engineering" experience and had hardly used CAD before) from the idea to having the thing to type on. I learned a lot, and already have a list of things I wish I had done differently for V2 😅.

What is the cheapest split ergo with a decent thumb cluster ?
If you can't find one you like you can also design your own. I don't advice for your first build though. Perhaps your second. Ergogen and Kicad are vital tools for this. https://ergogen.xyz/

How do I get started with KiCad for customizing an existing, open source layout?
Sorry, forgot the link.

Looking for a low-profile split kb, compatible for german layouts
Another option would be designing the layout yourself with http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and https://kbplate.ai03.com/ or maybe https://ergogen.xyz/

im trying to make a split keyboard pcb please see of i got anything wrong in my schematic.
I tried to PCB design and it's a harsh learning curve without electronics knowledge. I'm trying to do mine with Ergogen
What are some alternatives?
