A choc-spaced 56 key wireless build
Hey everyone!
I jumped into the ergomech rabbit hole sometime last year and after using a sofle as my daily driver since then, I now decided it's time to build my own "thing". After going through endless revisions to figure out what I actually want, and trying to learn how to trace PCBs, this is what I have come up with: A choc-spaced 56 keys wireless build with a scrollwheel and some staggering.
It's a reversible PCB. To make this work with single pin hole for both sides, I used jumpers for pins that can not be set in software (VCC, GND, RST). For rows/columns, I plan to do a different mapping in software to not have a jumper for every single pin.
All files including the kicad_pcb and ergogen config are available and open source at github: https://github.com/dnlbauer/splitkeyboard .
However, this is the first thing I ever designed. Therefore, I was hoping if you guys could have a look at the PCB before I get it etched and point out if there are any obvious errors?
Of course, I am also happy about any feedback in general. :)

Hey guys, not sure if we do PCB reviews in this group, but I figured I'd give it a shot since I know it was a thing that happened over in the bad website.
It's essentially a 5x6+1+encoder board. Images below and open source hardware repo is linked.
kicad render for the juicy thumbnail !
This is baby's first PCB design, so feel free to tear me a new one in the comments so I can make good boards.
