• ErgoDash as right-handed gamepad?
  1 project | /r/southpaws | 22 Mar 2023

  I'm looking to build and use the right half of an ErgoDash keyboard as a fully programmable gamepad. I'm currently using an OLKB Peronic and while it's serviceable, I'm driven to find/make something better. So before I dive head first into this, does anyone have any experience with ErgoDash keyboards? If there's some fundamental flaw I'm missing or if there's a better option out there, please let me know.

• Please could someone assist with my creation?

  Could someone please assist me or point me to somewhere I can get assistance with building/diagnosing an Ergodash. https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash

• Do WS2812B LEDs require resistor and/or MOSFET?
  1 project | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 14 Oct 2022

  I'm building (another) ErgoDash and I'm considering adding only underglow lights (with RGB WS2812B LEDs) and not backlights. However the documentation wrapes them together and I'm not sure whether the additonal components - a MOSFET and a 1k Ohm resistor - are needed for the underglow. Anyone knows? Can there be any harm (i.e. shorting something) in trying without them?

• Interested in a split keyboard for ergonomic reasons and have a few questions

  If you want a compact split with plenty of keys, I would recommend the ergodash, which is open sourced and can be bought prebuilt.

• Bought Kensington Slimblade trackball and used side by side with Kensington Expert Wired trackball for a week. Sent the Slimblade back to Amazon.

• [HELP] My Ergodash is not being detected in Via
  2 projects | /r/MechanicalKeyboards | 20 Apr 2022

  I flashed the firmware in this repo for both sides. Then I connect the keyboard into my computer and start Via. But it keeps searching for devices... BTW, I see some posted that Ergodash is supported in Via but cannot find the firmware in the official document here . Was it removed or something else?

• Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole
  6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Mar 2022

  I started with an ErgoDash [1], purchased because my Microsoft/Logitech split keyboards had worn out, and at the time I couldn't find a replacement with normal (not low profile) keys. It has a few additional keys compared to the Iris. I have one at work and another at home, and to make them more similar to the broken keyboards I 3D printed angled bases. I use it for 99% of my typing.

  I should probably have tried a Kinesis Advantage 2 first.

  I'm partway through printing/assembling a Lagrange keyboard [2] (I'm currently stuck working out how to order the circuit boards), which is similar to the Dactyl. I will add the F1-F12 keys to my print, as they're the only thing I miss -- if a shortcut in my IDE is Ctrl+Shift+F10, it's nice for it to be that, not Ctrl+Shift+Fn+0.

  I made [3] to help others see what's available.

• Split columnar with 8 columns?

  What about ergodash. Has an additional inner column, and an extra couple of thumbs.

• Flashing firmware to pro micro questions
  1 project | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 29 Jan 2022

  Hello, building an Ergodash, I have some questions concerning flashing the pro micros:

• Keyboards and Open-Source

  I was warned by a colleague that this was a rabbit hole, then warned by people online, and I'll pass on that warning now.

  I tried to help by updating and better-presenting an existing list of ergonomic mechanical keyboards: https://aposymbiont.github.io/split-keyboards/

  I'm using an ErgoDash¹ with a 3D-printed tilted stand, but I intend to assemble a Lagrange² "soon".
