How much of this was soldered by you vs the pcb manufacture? Boards without a separate MCU have always fascinated me, but I haven't been able to price one out because haven't been able to figure out how to use JLBPCP's pcb assembly service.

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

I only soldered the mcu module and the hs sockets. Usually also prefer seperate mcu board for flexibility and repairability
I really enjoy the board, but the thumbs are waaaay too tucky for me
Yeah... I took one look at that image and my thumbs started cramping up right away. ;)
It does look very snazzy, though!
when ignoring the tucky thumb keys it's quite nice :)
Nice Schiff ;-) Do you want to add a pic from the inside, showing the silk?
Oh, sure! And maybe post some pics of your own chiffs, too! 😏
You're right, I really should
Do the thumb keys do the h-line and f-line modifiers? I've never seen a katakana board in action.
it's just the legends, i'm not typing katakana with it 😅
