Ergogen is a JavaScript-based generator for ergonomic keyboard layouts. From a declarative config file it produces 2D layouts, plates, cases, and un-routed PCBs, usable via CLI or a web UI.
Use cases
- generate ergonomic keyboard case and plate files from a config
- design a split keyboard PCB footprint layout
- convert a keyboard layout description into DXF/SVG/JSCAD outputs
- experiment with custom keyboard layouts in a browser UI
- automate plate and case generation for handwired keyboards
When to choose
- you are designing a custom ergonomic or split mechanical keyboard
- you want reproducible, config-driven generation of plates, cases, and PCB outlines
- you prefer a declarative layout format over manual CAD work
When to avoid
- you need fully routed PCB schematics or firmware design
- you want a GUI-first CAD tool rather than config files
- your keyboard is a standard layout that existing tools already cover
