Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Can your pcbs be used in a skeletyl?
Should work fine. If you're worried I can print a single column cut from the skeletyl to test.
The skeletyl is 3x5 so would I have to chop an extra key off? Also, did you do any post work to that resin case after print? It’s beautiful!
Yep, just cut. Super simple to do, right at the start of a flex strip. I've got lots of things going on! I sanded the verticals on one half for a frosted effect. The other half I have to prep and figure out what clear coat I'm going to spray on it. Been utterly distracted doing the pick and place machine (got my flexible pcbs populated with diodes) learning how to do multiple components is going to be the next step.
Does JLPCB prints come with supports and you have to remove that as well?
Non-transparent they'll do light sanding to. Transparent they come with supports removed, but there is very fine markings where supports attached to the model.
