Bastard vs Skeletile vs Dactyl Manuform?
(lemmy.world)
Hi. I've been using Dactyl Manuforms for quite a few years now. Settled down with a 5 column with an extremely sculpted SA keycaps and bobba u4t switches. I use only 2/3 thumb keys regularly but enjoy having more.
I'm interested to know if anyone thinks an alternative is worth trying ? Any input would be appreciated!
Since others already posted the larger variants... I'm partial to the Rommana.
Wow! Love it! It's not for me, I won't be trying it sadly, need my basic qwerty core keys, but it's so cute and elegant.
I did build the Gigi by pseudoku. It was before combos were even a part of QMK. I might try to build a keymap for that emulating basic qwerty I.e. Q + Z = A
i'd rather so a+z=q, gotta have them high-frequency letters on base! but qwerty isn't really a good fit for such reduced layouts at all 😅
The concept was to hit both keys together at the centre of the column, emulating a basic qwerty board with less vertical movement. Never got it to work properly when it was difficult. Might try now that it's trivial
yeah i understand that :D just saying, combos are harder to activate than single key presses
