Make sure the TRRS and Type-C data + power cables are inserted all the way in on respective sides of your split keyboard
The length and the quality of the cable used in a custom TRRS cable influence the data + power transmission. If your TRRS cable does use poor quality wire and/or does have a coil, it most certainly losses the necessary amount of power on the way to the device. Change to a short TRRS cable and without coil.
Make sure you’re using a TRRS and not a TRS cable. Never connect a TRS cable to a split keyboard, depending on the design there is a chance you’ll create a short and fry your controllers.
Certify USB-C Cable actually transmit data + power signal. Many type-c cables are made just for charging, therefore transmit only power and don’t have data transmission.
Connect the Type-C cable to your master side half – Left Half, which is the one set by default. Connecting usb-c cable to the slave side will result in improper functionality of the keyboard. If you want to set the right half to be the master and connect always the type-c cable to it, define it by adding add the following flag to your config.h file:
#define MASTER_RIGHT
If one of your sides is not detected, add the following line in your keyboard’s config.h file:
#define SPLIT_USB_DETECT
If you have a full row or a full column or just one key being registering key presses randomly, there is a chance that you have a short circuit under the controller on the PCB on controller socket’s pins (most of the times) or on the controller itself. Re-flow the soldering making sure it is properly soldered and doesn’t have any short.
Sometimes even flux from soldering can create a short, invisible to a bear eye. Clean the flux with Isopropyl Alcohol
