ErgoDash is an open source split keyboard. I was introduced to it by a generous friend when he gave me two ErgoDash PCBs and let me try out the one he built. No need to say I was amazed. I will not go into details about the build guide but you can check out my progress in the picture below.

3D Print Switch Case

I 3D printed all the case parts like the switch plate and bottom plate. You can find various models on Thingiverse.

Solder Diodes on PCB

Here you can see the diodes and backlight LEDs soldered on the backside of the PCB.

Install and Solder Switches

It took me about two afternoons to finish soldering everything.

Assemble Case

It was actually not that easy to get 6mm spacers (fast). They are used to create the space between switch and bottom plate.

The next step is to get the firmware working for a custom key mapping and backlight. As you can see I also still need to get a nice set of keycaps.
