Fell in love with a 40%, now need advice on a second build!

[alas26]

Hello All,

So my keyboard adventure started with an HHKB pro2 which was the gateway into this crazy world. I absolutely fell in love with the feel, sound and haptics of mechanical boards!

When the pandemic hit, I had my eye on some ortholinear 40% boards and thought it was a good opportunity to learn that format as we were all being forced to work from home. I ended up with an Ergodox planck EZ with mx-clears and MT3 caps.

Needless to say, after about a week- I was hooked and in love!
Now that we are going back to the office I’m traveling with the board daily and I’m thinking it’s time for a second 40-ortholinear. 

I know that another Ergodox EZ would be an easy solution- but I’m thinking of getting an olkb planck and trying out some new switches instead. Thinking - Glorious Panda switches with different color MT3’s.

Now- my question- I already have key mappings from my Ergodox EZ that I love. Will I be able to flash an olkb planck with the same software from ZSA? Or will I need to write it with QMK? If the latter, am I able to easily convert my current mappings to QMK?

Thanks for your help!
-Eric

"The software from ZSA" being Oryx?  If so the keymap is in keymap.c in the zip when you download the firmware, looks to be QMK so you should be able to copy/paste the layer and keymap sections and fix the layout names to match those used on the standard Planck

Yes exactly! Thank you!

My next issue is that the Glorious Panda switches are only sold in packs of 36 … anyone sell individuals or 10 packs?
