I've seen a video with the history of all of the button layouts
It's a long enough video and just goes through the history of different layouts for different controllers and tries to reason why they are what they are.
I would like Returnal if you would be kind.
Happy holidays everyone.
Here are the parts that I used:
PCB: Lily58 pro MCU: Splinky rp2040 Switches: Akko v3 pro Lavender purple Keycaps: Tuzi in XDA profile
With custom built cables, and just a front and back plate that I got along with the PCB.
According to where I bought it from and here this specific MCU shares the footprint with a pro micro with extra gpio pins
I am a dev, so I just modified the different letters to suit myself. I will probably make changes to it later if/when I realise some other layout or key combination will be better.

The keycaps are called Tuzi.
I learned to properly solder(I'm still not great at it, but by the end I started getting better). And basically everything to do with building a keyboard.
I'm definitely gonna be customising my layout, probably often until I figure out everything I need. And maybe also do some custom stuff on the oleds too. Right now it has bongo cat that plays the animation when the wpm goes high enough (taken from here)
The keyset is called Tuzi.
I'm using qmk and I didn't see anywhere in the guides that I had to use different firmware for both halves. It told me to use the same on both.
UPDATE 2: It was indeed the TRS cable that was the issue. I just got my TRRS cable and it is now working fine.
-----------------------------------------
UPDATE: I ithink I know the problem, I'll update this post after I confirm it in a few days. This is the cable I was using !
This isn't a TRRS cable this is a TRS cable and I dont have a random TRRS cable to try out. I will wait for a few days until my actual TRRS cable that I ordered reaches me.

Gotta preface this by saying this is my first ever keyboard build, and pretty much my first time soldering something involved.
But anyways, I got the left half working, even with my slightly shoddy soldering, and was feeling pretty confident. Finished off soldering the right half and checked for bridges with a multimeter and that looked fine.
I flashed the same firmware that I used on the left to the right half. And then connected them together and plugged in the usb on the left half. The left half was working as usual, but the right half didn't recognise any inputs. It showed the lily58 logo but that was all that was showing on the oled.
I disconnected the halves and connected only the right half, and all the keys were being detected as if it were the left half but mirrored to the right.
What have I done wrong?Gotta preface this by saying this is my first ever keyboard build, and pretty much my first time soldering something involved.

I'm using a splinky rp2040 for the MCU, I have ordered new cables but they won't arrive for a few more days, I am using an old headphone cable to connect the halves.
