I wanted to use USB-C so everything is hot swappable. From what i’ve read audio cables aren’t great for that.

I do have a USB hub already so i could just make these 3 separate boards instead of a 3 part split. It would mean a few more wires on my desktop but i don’t mind that too much. Especially if i make the pad wireless.

My current layout for an ANSI board moves the home row up and i type the bottom two rows (space & QWERTY ZXCV…) with my thumbs, so i don’t think it’ll be too bad. If i’m wrong i can move all those characters to other keys on the hyper layer.
