I wanted to build a split Ergo from scratch, with a slightly more aggressive stagger than the Lily58 style board I had previously built. I also wanted to have a stabilized 2U spacebar and some RGB. The part that was most time-consuming was definitely designing the case in CAD and getting the switches and stabilizers to fit properly. Fortunately, it’s all pretty well documented so there wasn’t too much trial and error involved. Overall, it turned out pretty well!
I definitely wanted stabilized space bars. I don’t like 1U for space and 1.5 or even 1.75U unstabilized is not really great in my opinion. The space bars on this board are XDA blanks because 2U cherry profile bars are hard to come by if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the bars alone.
