making an Aurora Sweep

I built an Aurora Sweep

A 34-key split ergonomic mechanical keyboard
Switches: Gazzew Boba U4T (tactile), Choc Sunset (tactile)

I made it hotswap choc and MX, and I use choc switches for the thumb keys and MX switches for the rest. I attached the SplitKB tenting pucks and two manfrotto pocket tripods) for tenting just like I did on the Kyria.

I initially put a low profile rotary encoder on the right thumb and a nice!view on the left half, but I didn’t use either one as much as I thought I would, so I removed them.
