where do you order them? also can you elaborate a tiny bit on how. I tried pcbway and uploading the file but it has a lot of options a noobie like me is not super familiar with, besides it gave me a $400 estimate for 5 pcbs
Is it held together in the middle by the microcontroller or is there a stretch of PCB underneath? Very cool but that would make me nervous 😬 >

Jlcpcb is the cheapest by a good margin. >

Love the idea to connect the halfs via the MC. Will give this a try at some point >

Add a TRRS footprint and a few more tweaks, and you can make it a cheap split as well. >

Oh boy, I love this. Don't tempt me! >

Cheapis gonna turn into expensivis when you keep snapping your microcontroller accidentally >

What is the “Wire to the other side” signal? >

There are only 8 pins on the pro micro that are signal pins on both side, but that's not enough for one side (4x4=16, but there are 17 keys), so I had to use a 9th pin. This is RAW or GND on the other side of the controller. Because the PCB is flippable, I had to make a jumper for this 9th pin, which is the bottom row in this case, which is needed on the other side too. >

soldering sod123 diodes isn’t bad, but sod323, man that’s like another level. Really nice board though! >

RemindMe! 1 Day >

I was looking at getting this printed and I just noticed both sides say left side of controller. Looks great though! >

That's intentional, it's a jumper that needs to be soldered only on the left side of the controller. It could be on the left or right depending on the orientation of the controller. >
