I just built this Ergodone over the weekend to replace the JJ40 Planck that I use at work. I really needed the number / symbol row, since I still have trouble remembering where the symbols are even after using the Planck for two years.
I actually use the Colemak layout, but I leave the keycaps as qwerty, since admin level powershell only likes qwerty, and some of the remote servers I go into don’t retain my keyboard settings. Then I can just look down and see where the keys are.
Admin powershell only likes qwerty? Why don’t you adjust the firmware on the board to be Colemak rather than adjusting at the OS level so you avoid the trouble?
Either way, the board looks great!
