Hello!
I designed a split ergo keyboard from scratch, which I would like to share with you. Firstly, I made a test run of five pieces, to find potential problems with the design (and to use it myself, of course).
I wanted a board without the very common pro micro on it, which looks a bit cluttered in my opinion. Instead, the processor was integrated into the main PCB. It has 60 keys, mostly 1U, but two thumb keys up to 1.5U width. I use 1.25U myself, because I had them already. The halves connect over a TRS cable and each have Micro USB for connectivity.
Here are some pictures of my current daily driver! There is the option to use it with a PCB back plate, or an acrylic cover, as you can see. If you are interested, you may fill this form:

Any comments are also welcome!
Edit: The final version will have support for rotary encoders on the upper thumb positions (up/down arrows in the images)
The board uses QMK software.
Edit 2: Version 2 of the board is finished! It is now officially supported by QMK: https://config.qmk.fm//#/murcielago/rev1/LAYOUT.
