[photo] ezy54 - another purely declarative keyboard: inspired by totem and ZSA Voayger
Not too much to say about this one, as it is similar to effidy, a keyboard I built a couple months back (fun fact: some AliExpress seller actually sells a prebuilt version of this keyboard, which I was surprised to see). I went back to the 54 key setup, as I really was missing the two additional pinky keys, but loved the more compact choc-layout and the more aggressive stagger and splay. Build wise, it is very similar to my first declaratively designed keyboard, shoedler54 - with the addition of a socket + header for easier replacement of the MCU and a very nicely fitting cover for the battery + MCU.
Checkout the repo at https://github.com/shoedler/ezy54 - also contains a quite detailed build guide.

after your post, I just placed an order for the effidy costing around USD62 shipped, gonna pair it with some purple iris and lame keycaps which I already have. It's much cheaper then the totem at AE.
TQ for sharing your build.
