My personal keyboard I designed from scratch (I learnt a lot doing it but it is less ergonomic than a normal keyboard unfortunately).

I think it looks cool at least and I learnt lots of skills while doing it!

Ok, this is sick. Well done. I love how modular it is.

The concept reminds me of my Dumang DK6 ergo v2 that I've stashed away and never use. Same reason as you, it's just less ergonomic than my keyboard.io even though it's more customizable (you can place every individual key anywhere on the baseplate in any orientation)

That looks awful. Your home keys are all over the place.

Are you talking about the "dumang ergo v2" or the "keyboardio model 100"?

In either case: The home keys are right under my fingertips when they are in their natural position.

It does look very cool

I'm surprised you used ribbon cables and sub-PCBs instead of just making one large one. It would've been a lot quicker to put together.

Maybe the picture isn't showing that they're at a downward angle?

Try a charachorder design sometime too! They're fantastic!

... why does your keyboard appear to have a gnss module?
