Oh I wasn't aware of Vial. Thank you for introducing me. I'm using Cheapino so its not supported but I'll see if I can make it.

Digging some more, I found out that this happens only on the side that has encoder. Holding the layer keys that are on the micro-controller side and rotation encoder yields expected results. So I'm guessing its something to do with the matrix fix. My C isn't that sharp so I'll try to dig through and see what I can find.

cool thanks, I started with that and has already started modifying the layout

The function of the encoder is custom code, you need to Edit the encoder.c file to tweak it.

yeap, found it but the issue is that when encoder is rotated, it switches back to default layer. So, the code to use different things in different layers doesnt work. This is the code I have:

void turned(bool clockwise) {
    if (IS_LAYER_ON(0)) {
        tap_code16(clockwise ? LCTL(KC_PGDN) : LCTL(KC_PGUP));
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(1)) {
        tap_code(clockwise ? KC_VOLU : KC_VOLD);
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(2)) {
        tap_code16(clockwise ? LALT(KC_TAB) : LALT(LSFT(KC_TAB)));
    } 
    else if (IS_LAYER_ON(5)) {
        tap_code(clockwise ? KC_MS_WH_DOWN : KC_MS_WH_UP);
    }
    // else {
    //     tap_code16(clockwise ? LGUI(KC_Y) : LGUI(KC_Z));
    // }
}

P.s. You know you can tweak the led? Turn it off/change color and brightness, all using the qmk rgb keys. (Just wondered if the thing on top is to dim the light:)

Haha...yeap thats exactly what it was for, #define RGBLIGHT_LIMIT_VAL 2 helped me solve it.

We were talking about it for a bit but didn't want to spend all the time figuring out things. So when we came across Cheapino, my friend was like fuck it let's do this and it happened.

Curious, how well rollers work in that location? Are you using index finger or thumbs for those?

I would recommend Adguard instead of pihole. It's a lot lighter, and being written in go its very efficient.
