  • Dactyl Manuform 5x6 full with trackball.
  • Resin case, Amoeba King PCBs, and hot swaps.
  • Used Kailh Box Navy switches.
  • Adafruit KB2040 and PMW3389 for the controllers.
  • TRRS with full duplex between the halves.

Took my sweet time wiring up to not burn myself out, but I think it was worth the wait! My soldering skills certainly improved by the end of it. 😅

Also, big shout-out to Wylderbuilds!

Looking really good. How comfortable do you find the left thumb cluster? I've been eyeing that layout for my next build. You don't see too many DM with a full bottom row like that, interesting, what did you use to to make that happen?

The left thumb is pretty similar to the Kinesis Advantage which I've used for years. No issues with comfort there!

The layout is a 5x6 full matrix. Wylderbuilds has the option to print with it, but I think the software used to generate the model supports it as well.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
