My experience building a split keyboard in Ergogen
Having dipped my toes in PCB design and manufacturing with the TentaOne, I figured it was time to tackle a project that I had my eyes on for a couple of years now.
Ever since I first saw the Dactyl in 2022, I’ve wanted to own a split keyboard. Not so much for the supposed ergonomic benefits, but more so because of the uniqueness and maker bragging rights.
The Goldilocks board
Split keyboards come in many flavours, with popular designs like the Sofle, Corne, etc. The common boards can be bought from some sellers and even prebuilt, but they’re quite costly.
