You have me curious about what you see as the key features of the ErgoDox. I find the reduced pronation and ulnar deviation from tenting and skewing the halves to be its primary ergonomic feature.
I may have to work with you on this if you're interested, my existing PCB design could be added to (a new PCB for the center keys) with minimal effort, and I've been looking at different ways of building a more travel friendly version.
Still going to move ahead with the one piece. A split design doesn't really appeal to me (I already have one ErgoDox with another on the way). AcidFire is more than welcome to work on a split/swivel design, but something tells me he might have his hands full with the ErgoGP

Do you want help with the plate?

I can also help with the plate.
I have a small amount of experience in PCB design, but I've never made a keyboard before.

You'd be a better candidate then, I have close to zero experience with plate design.
I do use my ergodox with hands tilted but close together. Still this looks appealing for travel because regardless of light weight, the ergodox is awkward for travel.My edox seems to travel every bit as well as a tenkeyless, and not much worse than a 60%. Helps a lot if you put the backs of the two halves together.
Foldable???
:D

Now that is an idea. Have a hinge right down the center, keep the I2C bridge, but use a ribbon cable instead of TRRS. Would make it firmware-compatible with the ErgoDox.
Me likey...
If we really wanted to make it compact, we'd have to change the PCB to not be reversible, and surface mount the controller and io expander on the bottom side. Doable, if less convenient.Hmmm, why don't you try to use the original PCB as a starting point?
