I obviously suck at soldering! My left thumb cluster just stopped working, which led to a new "opportunity" to learn - identifying what was wrong.
I never really bothered to look into how the circuits worked when building it the first time since I was busy learning to type on the split keyboard.
Tried out #deepseek v4 flash to help identify root causes and guiding me on how to debug it as part of testing how good this very cheap model is.
The guidance was solid, but I've soon ruled out most things without the error. At least I've learnt some (and removed the useless rotary knob that I tried out)...

Finally calling this done! Say hello to the HellSplit a hand-wired, asymmetric 40% split #ortholinear keyboard with vertical column stagger and two rotary encoders. Powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico's #RP2040 and #KMK firmware
