That looks great! How do you like the melodics?
ErgoMechKeyboards
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

have been enjoying them for awhile now – the clickleaf is softer but more tactile than clickbars
This is really cool! How much did it cost you to get the board fully assembled? And how's the layout? As ergonomic as you hoped?
- pricing really depends on what deals JLC is running at any point and what options (ie. regular, lead-free, or ENIG)
- 5 PCBs with parts and assembly + 5 plates when I ordered was roughly 75 USD (not counting shipping which is always expensive)
- have been thoroughly enjoying the layout
- not as aggressive as earlier iterations (had to fit into standard 60% case), but still more aggressive than Corne, Lily58, or Sofle
