There's a lot of great critique here, so I just wanted to offer another resource for you: the schematics to our precision buffered mult (for CV and audio) are open source: https://github.com/wntrblm/Hydrogen/blob/main/hardware/board/board.pdf

You might have to go down the path of making your own boards, I started off based on this: https://github.com/soundmonster/samoklava It's a good resource to minimize the amount of work you have to do on kicad
I want to design my own pcb with the nice!nano where do I get started and is there a way to download opensource designs like the corne or ferris sweep if they are open source, to modift the?

There’s only one autorouter that’s a) open source and b) known to work. It’s called FreeRouting. I’ve tried to adapt it for a GitHub workflow that takes an Ergogen YAML and outputs ready-for-fab PCB Gerber files. It doesn’t work perfectly for all use cases, so it’s probably worth double-checking the result with a DRC (design rule check) run in KiCad. Watch out for shorts and opens! 🤞

I used this Ergogen-based keyboard (samoklava), plus Chocorne's layout, as a basis for mine
Am I the only one that had issue with Corne thumb cluster style?

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.
