You gonna drop a handwired on us and not show the matrix?
Lovely board, by the way. I just never learned to properly touch type, though on a board I know and like I can compose text at 70ish wpm, which is enough to get by. And I am too old, yes, too old to begin the training.
How do you like the inverted Cherry keycaps as spacebars/thumb keys? I like to hand-wire compact 1800 boards with no stabilizers, and the next one is designed around a cheap set of Cherry. The kitting has no extra convex spacebars, and unlike XDA I don't think I would get used to regular Cherry keys there, so I'm planning to adopt the upside down practice from ergos/40s for my "spacebar" cluster.
If you follow the github link (https://github.com/codybloemhard/eliza) you will find a picture of the matrix! I really like the upside down mods for space bars. It depends a bit on how you angle your hands when you type, but if I put the 'space bar' modifiers in their regular orientation, the edge will dig into my thumb. One thing I would do differently is the position of the screws. Two of the screws are right where my thumb comes down on the board when I press down the space bars. This was slightly irritating and I had to get used to it.
Ahh, I didn't quite gather it was your github. Nice, nice work, certainly cleaner than mine, though mine are better than they used to be, at least for the matrix part; I still tend to let the kraken tentacles loose when wiring it to the MCU.
Handwiring is my next project!
