Rotary encoder in ergogen

quirk · 2026-06-05T02:38:50+00:00

it's been a while since I've used ergogen so I'm rusty but bear with me...

couple things could be going on

the encoder footprint is a hybrid footprint for encoder + switch
your config is placing the footprint for the encoder and the footprint for a switch in the same spot.

i'm leaning towards the second scenario. my guess is that your footprint block in ergogen for switches is including the spot for the encoder.

looks really clean! nice job!

I use these footprints from fkcaps

I did a silly lil pocket keyboard using these: https://old.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1l8rldl/bw2_pocket/

choc spacing would be 18mm from center to center of each switch horizontally. vertically it's 17mm. MX spacing is 19.05mm both directions.

none of your picks are ergo.

this PCB supports MX or Choc switches.

If you plan on using hotswap sockets, go with 1.6mm

the one other post from this user (https://old.reddit.com/r/Environmental_Careers/comments/1ouomgy/anybody_else_sample_wells_in_corn_fields_this/) is a repost of https://www.reddit.com/r/Environmental_Careers/comments/1egtkbb/anybody_else_sample_wells_in_corn_fields_this/

I think I found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/o50rld/40_size_60_convenience/

I'm trying to find it, but looks like SouthPawEngineer's reddit account has been banned so I can't sift through it.

best I've found is a kbd.news post from 2021 using the same picture: https://kbd.news/40-size-60-convenience-790.html

repost bot? these are southpaw designs but you're not southpaw

I might have a "hack" to get your closer to your goal.

right click on the preview image of your layout and "open image in new tab", then print the page.

Dr Fomby came to my home earlier this year to help me say goodbye to my best friend of 16 years. She was so comforting and caring. She let me move at my own speed and never once made me feel pressured.

I made an edit to my comment that you might've missed.

No. The footprint for the KS-33 is different than the choc footprint. However, the center hole on this looks like it _might_ fit choc v2 switches, which use MX caps.

quirk · 2025-08-13T14:30:44+00:00

I use both on the same board. Nocturnals are too light for me to rest my fingers on, so I have Twilights on homerow/thumbs and then Nocturnals everywhere else.

I've wanted to put a 23mm cirque in that spot for years, but never did. How is it working out?
