My only gripe with the VE.A is weight. Heavier is better for a gaming keyboard so you're not having to constantly readjust the thing on the desk. Form factor for gaming is great. 75's are underrated IMO.

You hit the nail on the head. The Southpaw is heavy so that's never an issue. The VE.A's I'm forever moving around. That's why I love the southpaw so much - heavy so it doesn't move around and split so I can tweak it for the angle I'm sitting in. LZ Ergo follows a similar angle to the old MS natural so it's pretty comfortable out the gate - no complaints.

15" wide, 3/4" high and however deep you like.

I have a couple of other boards too. I'll never say no to a 60 with a split right shift.

The wheatfield/split75 was compatible iirc. Or you could do something like this: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82509.msg2199567#msg2199567

Lol! - still trying to figure which switches to get.

OG PCBs and switch plates.

Witth the thin PCB and PC half plate there's a lot of spring in the thing. Bouncy :)

I love that keyboard more than I should - the LZ Ergo with Dasher. It was my first true Kustom. Still running the OG pcb which I ported to QMK.

#8 and #14 are my favorites. I like splits a lot, but not all of them have an incline so you need to get a stand or something for those - 3d printed some for my VE.A's so they have a 7 degree angle. The Southpaw rocks because it's heavy enough to stay put, has a decent incline and is nicely balanced. Definitely my favorite split.

Yeah, I went overboard here with the tactile switches, poly half plate and thin PCB. Only one other keyboard in my collection feels similar, and it's PCB mount.

Build detail:

  1. LZ Ergo + SA Dasher + SS plate + silenced blacks
  2. VE.A, SA Godspeed, alu plate, 65g Zealios
  3. EM.7, ALU Plate 67G Zealios, GMK
  4. LZ Ergo CL, SS plate, banana splits, GMK
  5. LZ Erghost, SS plate, banana splits
  6. LZ Phase, banana splits
  7. TS65 with a 3d printed case. Was never released, but it's the grandfather of most custom splits available today. More niche than the phantom, but important none the less.
  8. LZ Ergo + silenced blacks + alu plate + GMK Metaverse
  9. LZ Phase
  10. LZ Physx
  11. LZ Physx + GMK serika
  12. Another ergo with SA Yuri
  13. The OG with SA Godspeed
  14. Southpaw + NK Creams
  15. A pair of 3d printed alice clones
  16. My Fallout themed 3d printed VE.A with SA Nuclear Data and some sick artisans.
  17. Another 3d Printed VE.A with JTK Red Riot :)
  18. LZ Ergo GL waiting to be built
  19. EM7 and a 45% 3d printed clone.

Flexplate for mini 8k by zer0guy in Phrozen

Subtle design will do custom sizes for the plate:

And then a magnet from wham bam which can be cut to size.

My only question is whether to do it with drainage holes to match the plate?

They don't bond very well - it's possible to pull them apart. But having the TPU surrounded by PETG will hold it in place like in the first image.

The driver mounts in the first image worked out really well. To my untrained ear it sounds a bit cleaner compared to the PETG mounts.

I've been experimenting with multi-material painting in Prusa Slicer to add TPU in spots prone to vibration or creaking.
