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

Hi to all of you, Last year I decided to build a Skeletyl keyboard. For many reasons I decided to build it cheap instead of the kit. Despite my lack of experience in building anything it was not really a wise decision. Surprise... Anyway, I printed the the kit and wired the switches and bought the wrong microcontroller, put it of for half a year and then bought nicenanos. And now again I am out of my width. First I am searching for a holder for the nicenanos and second I am searching for some guidance for the pins I am supposed to use. I can read schematics and wild paint drawings, but the general advice for zmk with miryoku seems to be look at kicad files of similar keyboards. Those break me into pieces. Has anyone seen an holder for nicenanos and or some advice for the pins?

I made mine this year, but used pro micros instead of the nice nanos. Used a perf board to attach the controller and TRS connector. Zip ties to attach the perfboard to the case.

That's an nice idea. My dream would be something like this , but for the nicenano. It also should hold a battery. However, haven't designed anything yet.
