Reply to comment by StyledDeveloper3 in My little baby is done, I just love her by Padaf3t

After lurking on the ergo keyboard subreddit for a little while, I decide to look into a split keyboard. The hic was that I never have solder before and my hands are a little shakky. So I watch some youtube video, Search the documentations for split keyboard.

At first I look into lily58 and other bigger keyboard. But finally hop for the corne in 6x3 that was available almost everywhere and has a lot of documentation. I decide to go with hotswap socket for the switch and the microcontroller.

After getting all the piece, I wait 4-5 month before tackling that baby. (That was 2 week ago). I began soldering and didnt know what to expect. At first that seems a considerable challenge, but was in the end not so much difficult to do. (I just mess the microcontroller one, because I didn't know at the time the millmax pins needed to be FORCE into the socket)

After all the soldering I test everything and redo some place until everything working correcty.

For the aesthetics, that was when I saw the purrfect XDA kitty that I know it was the one

Hope that help !!

>What keyboard is this?

Looks like Corne to me.

Though if you consider getting your first split keyboard, I'd recommend something bigger, like Lily58. It's similar to Corne, but has one more row and one more thumb key on each side.

Coming from normal keyboards, it's hard enough to adjust to lack of row stagger, I don't think it's a good idea to also learn to use 40% at the same time.

Just finish my first keyboard, first solder job and all. Didn't expect the soldering to be somewhat easy. I got some hiccup along the road, but finally everything working just fine. Finishing this was an awesome feeling.

I put some Boba U4 in there, and just love the typing feeling on those

Hope you all likes my purrfect baby like I do

Edit: Its a wired CKBRD (corne) and hotswapable, I just didn't want to show the ugly cable

Blacks seemed ok. Yellows were a little light for me. I'll probably end up selling both, since I don't plan on sticking with either.

I'm a tactile and clicky switch person.

Makes me want to put heavier springs in my Budgerigar switches.
