After lurking on the ergo keyboard subreddit for a little while, I decide to look into a split keyboard. The hic was that I never have solder before and my hands are a little shakky. So I watch some youtube video, Search the documentations for split keyboard.

At first I look into lily58 and other bigger keyboard. But finally hop for the corne in 6x3 that was available almost everywhere and has a lot of documentation. I decide to go with hotswap socket for the switch and the microcontroller.

After getting all the piece, I wait 4-5 month before tackling that baby. (That was 2 week ago). I began soldering and didnt know what to expect. At first that seems a considerable challenge, but was in the end not so much difficult to do. (I just mess the microcontroller one, because I didn't know at the time the millmax pins needed to be FORCE into the socket)

After all the soldering I test everything and redo some place until everything working correcty.

For the aesthetics, that was when I saw the purrfect XDA kitty that I know it was the one

Hope that help !!
