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

so you need to flip the nice!nano on the other side?
No, you solder it in the same way for both sides.
The "flipping" is handled mostly internally. For The right hand side, the firmware just maps the rows and columns differently than for the left hand side. For pins where this is not possible (Vcc, Gnd,..), there are jumpers on the other side that need to be soldered.
