That split with the VGA cable is crazy. I need to try some of these crazy boards one day. I have one 40% and I have one ortho keyboard. Neither one of them really worked out for me. I still get the ortho board out occasionally to practice typing on it

Yeah, these ergo splits work best if you design them around your own fingers. Simply buying or printing another guy’s design makes not much sense to me. I couldn’t type on any columnar stagger or layout but my own I meticulously figured out a few years ago.

KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar
The very first KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar is starting off with a 0th day post on what the heck is a mechanical keyboard advent calendar.

@dovenyi Which issue would you recommended for someone who is starting out? I would like to understand more in depth what it takes to create own (ideally low profile, wireless, with knob) keyboard.

These weekly issues cover mostly new projects. While the open-source ones (KiCad files or build guides) can help a lot if you have some basic understanding of the design and manufacturing process, I have some old and half-baked tutorials for beginners here: https://golem.hu/
