Hey, I have an ergodox ez. I'm wondering what you mean by "pedal layer". Like pressing the pedal would move you to another layer?

The ergodox does precisly that and supports up to 32 layers.

that's what I mean, having a pedal connector on the keyboard where I could plug a pedal in and use it to switch to a different ergodox layer (which as of now I assume you do just via another key). The kinesis does have a pedal input, but I don't think the ergodox ez has it, or does it? the website does not say anything about it...

My bad. No the ergodox doesn't has this.
