I'm pretty solid on that size. I could go 5x15, but it would just be a whole column of keys that I don't have a use for. But if it fits in a 60% case, it'll likely save me a whole pile of other headaches, so might be worth it.

Maybe I'm following the link wrong or something, but that's a 6x19

But not split ;)

I think I want to do 5x14, and I don't see anything quite that size on there.

Excellent information, than you so much!

Haha, maybe not quite that far from scratch

That's a cool looking one, I'll definitely have to check more into that!

My original plan was an ESP32, but the pi has the advantage of showing up as HID keyboard. That was the only reason I we thinking of thing that route. I'll definitely check out QMK first.

Cool, ill not familiar with QMK, I'll have to check it out.

Hmm, yeah almost. A little wider though. I'll have to look into how programmable that actually is. But definitely on the right track!

I'm going to be connecting it to various computers and I want it to behave the same on all of them without any setup on the computer side.

Sorry, should have given a bit more. Needs to be ortholinear, every key the same size (with the exception of one that is 2 wide). Sort of similar to this actually https://spacehop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Ortholinear-keyboard-design.jpeg but a column or two narrower. Will be my own custom layout (because qwerty is garbage). But also I want to chord with it and use additional modifier key to adjust the cords, so I need to be able to fully program output based on which keys are pressed/held.
