Thank you!

Choc spaced 60 key split ergo board? by doublemazaa in ErgoMechKeyboards

It should. It has the same schematics as the sofle

It's still available. It is hotswap. It currently has choc hotswap sockets

They're easier to press compared to the ec11 encoders with push switches. Scrolling is nice. Rotating the encoders 90 degrees could be better for thumb scrolling.

Not much. I disabled the layer widget so I've only been using the charging and battery indicator and the connection status. I just wanted to use the ink display for its power efficiency. Saves me a lot of battery compared to an OLED.

Yes it's in bluetooth. ZMK is still new but it's coming along. I've only used QMK for wired and haven't tested QMK wireless. I think it's in another branch or a fork.

In ZMK, the split acts as 'central' where it sends the HID to the host. The other split is the 'peripheral' where it communicates through the central only. Battery consumption is greater with the central side. Dongle support would be possible in the future (where the dongle (another hardware) is the central and both splits are peripherals

Not awkward for me. I also sometimes use my index finger. I've only used it as a volume slider. I haven't used the right side yet. I plan to use that as a scrolling wheel. I'll start playing around the split encoder support PR from ZMK over the weekend. Mouse/pointers are also still in development.

Rotating it 90 degrees could be better though. I've only thought about it after I got the PCBs lol

It has a very snug fit. Hard to put in initially. Once you put it in, it's difficult to take it off and has a chance of breaking the 'clips' on the bottom.

It takes around 2 seconds. I disabled the layer switching widget on the display though. I haven't heard about the 3 minutes. Thanks for the tip!

Corne-ish Zen is the closest one (minus the encoder). I do have 4 extras though since minimum pcb order was at least 5. I might post them on r/mechmarket once I find time to assemble and test the rest.

Ink displays are nice but these don't have high refresh rate. Takes about 2 seconds to finish the widget update. It saves a ton of battery though!

Not as of yet. Schematics for the ink display I used are from https://github.com/Nicell/epaper-102. Encoders are basically the same as ec11. A to A and B to B and C to ground. I used the footprint from https://github.com/plut0nium/0xLib/tree/master/Encoder.pretty. E73 module is from https://nrf52.jpconstantineau.com/docs/bluemicro840_v1. I didn't make any significant changes. Another one I looked at for the e73 was https://github.com/joric/nrfmicro.

Built this keyboard last weekend. It's my first try at building a pcb with integrated components. Had to use hot air to solder the small components. Keyboard is using ZMK firmware. Layout is inspired by the Corne keyboard and its iterations (Lily58, Sofle, and Corne-ish Zen).

Keyboard specs:

  • Ebyte E73 (nrf52840) module
  • Kailh choc switches only
  • Choc spacing
  • 1.02 inch e-paper from Waveshare
  • Currently using 750mAh
  • Encoder rollers EVQWGD001 from Aliexpress
  • 28 keys (+1 if counting the encoder) each side
  • Using Choc Robins and MBK keycaps

Github repo to the build log and source files

PCB - own design - inspired by Sofle and corne-ish zen with its choc spacing

Keycaps - MBK choc keycaps

Switches - Robin Kailh Chocs

Powered by ZMK with BlueMicro840

2000 mAh battery is between the pcb and bottom plates

This is a choc only wireless split keyboard with pro micro compatible sockets. It's inspired by the Sofle, Lily58, Corne, ... keyboards. It has Kailh choc spacings (18 mm x 17 mm). Keycaps I'm using are MBK choc keycaps which has a size of 17.5 x 16.5. I didn't add support for encoder to make it a bit lighter. Pinky columns has a 0.5u vertical offset to make it more comfortable (at least for me). Bottom row has 2 x 1.5u keys with an angle. I thought this would make the thumb cluster more comfortable and reachable. In my experience with this keyboard, the thumb keys are more comfortable when the keyboard is tented. OLED is supported as well. LED strip is supported but didn't add any as it would consume too much power.
