I wanted to build a split Ergo from scratch, with a slightly more aggressive stagger than the Lily58 style board I had previously built. I also wanted to have a stabilized 2U spacebar and some RGB. The part that was most time-consuming was definitely designing the case in CAD and getting the switches and stabilizers to fit properly. Fortunately, it’s all pretty well documented so there wasn’t too much trial and error involved. Overall, it turned out pretty well!
The internals
Very nice design, I like it very much. The connection cable is self-made?
Thanks. Yep, cable is DIY
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Great job! Reminds me of the Apple M0110.
This is really, really cool. I would love to do this one day. How does it feel to type on? Any reason you didn’t make a PCB? They’re really cheap these days
It’s so beautiful, I want them! haha
Thanks! I can give you the files so you can print it yourself 😉
Do you have a link you can share? I’d love to build an ergo one of these days, and your design is simply beautiful 😍
You’re so kind! Thanks a lot
What processor did you use?
I am using Elite Pi microcontrollers (RP2040)
This has such a nice finish, you really went above and beyond to get it looking good.
I don’t know much about 3D printing, how did you get the outer surfaces looking so clean?
Either he used ironing or an resin printer. I don’t know if you can get such a smooth surface with just ironing.
He could also sanded it
That is super slick
