Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Hey, in the bastardkb docs, there is a tray holder for the nano/pro micro that looks to fit inside your build, also works on my Scylla. It's its own repo. I think you can slip the battery between the pins.
Then check if your are rol2col or col2row, there is explainer inside the zmk docs.
Next, find the pins, n!n pinout, and make sure your overlay and dtsii? File has the right order of matrix,. eg the 0,0 0,1... 0,5 and that it matches with how you wired your board. And the right row2col setting.
Zmk docs also has a nice explainer for he matrix stuff.
You mean this one? I found that, but it was part of the kit I didn't want to use. Also I missed the opportunity when somebody sold some on them on the discord channel. By now I designed a 3d printed tray, which holds 401430 LiPos (they do not fit below the nice!nano, but I cannot find 301230 for sale). Next step will be the wiring and before that I will have to figure out the pinout part.

Is the one that is working for me. I assume the other kb from Bastard would fit, but only a guess.
I am wiring mine currently and did a bit of debugging, but I'm a trial and error guy and nearly done. So I would say just jump in :)
Oh, I missed that one. Thanks. However, I designed my own one. Since my design has a pocket for the battery I think I will stick to it.
