Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4: Introduction — FlatFootFox
May 30, 2026 - This site lets you paste in an Ergogen config file and then download the generated outputs right from your browser. Ergogen community member Cache and Ceoloide have done an excellent job of adding live previews to ergogen.xyz, letting you quickly itterate through layouts during the early parts of your design process.
Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4: A Beginner's Guide To Designing Custom Ergonomic Keyboard PCBs
Howdy y'all! 👋 Ergogen , the ergonomic keyboard layout generator app, recently hit v4 ! I've been enjoying using this tool for a while now, so I decided to collect everything I've learned into a series of step-by-step articles outlining the basics of Ergonomic keyboard PCB creation. The series covers: An overview of Ergogen itself. Defining the layout of your keyboard. Outlining the shape of your board. Populating your PCB with footprints and defining nets. Adding external footprints and designing a basic 3D printed case. KiCAD routing basics, and resources for firmwares and assembly. That's right, you're getting six blog entries for the price of one Reddit post! The series is designed to be approachable for folks who may have built their own keyboard in the past, but aren't sure quite where to get started when it comes to creating their own designs. I hope some of you find it useful! Edit: Thanks so much for the Gold! More on reddit.com

It's great to have such a new layout editor. Is it possible to define custom geometries right now? (I did not find an UI for this.) In KLE, I believe I missed a convenient geometry editor, more than the ability to display several layers. Suggestion: import of Ergogen yaml layouts would be very nice to have. More on reddit.com

I then had a first PCB prototype that I could open in KiCad and that would theoretically work. But I wasn’t over yet, and changed my config file for the next few days.

May 3, 2023 - As many of you may know, also explained by project owner Dénes Bán in the MK Advent Calendar, V4 of Ergogen stirred things up by introducing some breaking changes last December, thus rendering older YAML scripts incompatible and earlier examples, tutorials and documentation unusable. This series of articles by FlatFootFox tries to incorporate these changes and address many of the issues, while guiding you through the process of creating a keyboard PCB with a unibody Sofle-like layout.
