My Journey From Mechanical to Ergonomic Keyboards | New ErgoMech Open Sourced (Kaly42) + Video!
(iili.io)
Hello everyone! I recently open sourced the Kaly42, a cheap split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard and, to celebrate the occasion, have decided to tell the story of how I went from a standard mechanical keyboard to the CSTC40 and eventually to designing and building a new keyboard! The files are available here and the video here! If any of that interests you, please check them out, it would mean a lot to me!
Nice planter pics in the repo!
Can you tell me about the keycaps you're using? They look "pointier" than the low profile choc keycaps I got from MK Ultra.
Also, how was your experience using Ergogen with Blackpill? When I played with it a while back it really only had built-in footprints for Pro Micro.
I got those keycaps from aliexpress and the choice was purely based on "This is the cheapest I can find", but they are quite ok if you don't mind flat keycaps! I think about 0.2$ per keycap. (and you get free shipping after getting enough of them).
As for Ergogen, sadly I also didn't find any. I imported and used the footprint exclusively from the Kicad PCB stage onwards. It took a bit more of manual work but was quite worth it! Hope someone adds it and the RP controllers eventually, it would be great!
