Hi,
I'm going to put a set of split keyboard pcb's into one case, to make one 'big' keyboard'.
Normally split pcb's are connected with a trrs cable, which would be redundant in my case..
Can I just solder 4 wires between the trrs points on the pcb? Or am I overlooking anything?
Thank you :)

welcome to the forum nuigurumi :-)
as for your question, I think that as long as you were sure you were going to keep this big keyboard as it was for quite a while then I don't see any real problem in using a more permanent bridge re wires instead of trrs cable
(in fact I've been wondering a bit about tkl+numpad pcbs in one single case too so you're probably not that too unique there!)

Good to hear, thanks! :thumb:

Sometimes they fail to flash properly while connected and need to be flashed separate, especially the first time.
-
Is this controller dependent?
Or something all controllers have?
I'm going to use Elite-Pi's.

A QMK issue in general, I think.

Thank you for the info, I might hold off soldering until I'm fully satisfied with the layout and it doesn't need flashing anymore.
