… plus figured out the basics of qmk. Will need to get it up and running with full miryoku though as this is what i use on ALL my keyboards. So if anyone can tell how i now get the full miryoku on I’d be super happy to give it a try.

    Because they are really cheap to build. Mine was about $50 USD total. Really nice way to get into ergonomic keyboards.

      Are they any cheaper than a ferris sweep or a corne though? Aren’t they all open source boards?

        Ferris sweep uses choc switches which Are quite expensive. The Corne is not reversible i think, making the pcb more expensive. Also, both uses two pro micros which Are more expensive than the rp2040 of the cheapino, which also uses just one.

        Not very big difference, but its cheaper…

          Oh. I thought the ferris sweep was MX… Oops lol. And I hadn’t considered the reversibility of the Pcb. I also thought the rp2040 was a drop in for pro micro? Thank you for the input btw!
