ErgoDash as right-handed gamepad?
I'm looking to build and use the right half of an ErgoDash keyboard as a fully programmable gamepad. I'm currently using an OLKB Peronic and while it's serviceable, I'm driven to find/make something better. So before I dive head first into this, does anyone have any experience with ErgoDash keyboards? If there's some fundamental flaw I'm missing or if there's a better option out there, please let me know.

Please could someone assist with my creation?
Could someone please assist me or point me to somewhere I can get assistance with building/diagnosing an Ergodash. https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash

Do WS2812B LEDs require resistor and/or MOSFET?
I'm building (another) ErgoDash and I'm considering adding only underglow lights (with RGB WS2812B LEDs) and not backlights. However the documentation wrapes them together and I'm not sure whether the additonal components - a MOSFET and a 1k Ohm resistor - are needed for the underglow. Anyone knows? Can there be any harm (i.e. shorting something) in trying without them?

Interested in a split keyboard for ergonomic reasons and have a few questions
If you want a compact split with plenty of keys, I would recommend the ergodash, which is open sourced and can be bought prebuilt.

Bought Kensington Slimblade trackball and used side by side with Kensington Expert Wired trackball for a week. Sent the Slimblade back to Amazon.

[HELP] My Ergodash is not being detected in Via
I flashed the firmware in this repo for both sides. Then I connect the keyboard into my computer and start Via. But it keeps searching for devices... BTW, I see some posted that Ergodash is supported in Via but cannot find the firmware in the official document here . Was it removed or something else?

Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole
I started with an ErgoDash [1], purchased because my Microsoft/Logitech split keyboards had worn out, and at the time I couldn't find a replacement with normal (not low profile) keys. It has a few additional keys compared to the Iris. I have one at work and another at home, and to make them more similar to the broken keyboards I 3D printed angled bases. I use it for 99% of my typing.
I should probably have tried a Kinesis Advantage 2 first.
I'm partway through printing/assembling a Lagrange keyboard [2] (I'm currently stuck working out how to order the circuit boards), which is similar to the Dactyl. I will add the F1-F12 keys to my print, as they're the only thing I miss -- if a shortcut in my IDE is Ctrl+Shift+F10, it's nice for it to be that, not Ctrl+Shift+Fn+0.
I made [3] to help others see what's available.

Split columnar with 8 columns?
What about ergodash. Has an additional inner column, and an extra couple of thumbs.

Hello, building an Ergodash, I have some questions concerning flashing the pro micros:

Keyboards and Open-Source
I was warned by a colleague that this was a rabbit hole, then warned by people online, and I'll pass on that warning now.
I tried to help by updating and better-presenting an existing list of ergonomic mechanical keyboards: https://aposymbiont.github.io/split-keyboards/
I'm using an ErgoDash¹ with a 3D-printed tilted stand, but I intend to assemble a Lagrange² "soon".

Surface finish for 3D-printed case
You can see an example in the photos of my Lagrange keyboard.

A clamp mount accessory for the Lagrange
I was looking for a suitable example for a tutorial for my programmatic solid modeling CAD Gamma and a clamp seemed suitable. Well, I haven't started work on the tutorial yet, but here's a clamp-mount assembly for my Lagrange keyboard.

Split keyboard - Trackball positioning
I had both my Expert Mouse and the Orb I'm now using, between the two halves of my Ergodox and now my Lagrange. Ergonomically, it is, I think, the natural choice, but perhaps the separation between the halves is larger than average in my setup.

The Orb: a parametric trackball with BTU mounted ball and keyboard switches for buttons
As for Gamma: I wasn't really aware of CadQuery, but I did use OpenSCAD extensively, when designing my Lagrange keyboard. Gamma started as a way to address some aspects I didn't find quite satisfactory (as, to be fair, I can't say I had any real problems). Also to be fair, I used OpenSCAD through a frontend(scad-clj) translating Clojure code to its native language and some of the problems may have been due to that, but that is also one of the issues I had with OpenSCAD: why have to learn a new language when there are existing embedabble scripting languages, you might now already, of if not, which you might use elsewhere and which, having years of development, will likely be better?

Custom to hand concave keyboards?
This is not about the Dactyl per se, but my Lagrange keyboard supports this (or at least attempts to; it's hard to guarantee that the resulting geometry will be problem-free for a given set of parameters). The build guide goes into some detail on what you're trying to do.
-
Anybody had tried this kind of keycap?
I've tried it. In fact, I've designed it, I designed it as a key meant to be operated with the edge of the palm with my Lagrange keyboard. This doesn't mean it couldn't be used as a thumb key of course, but note that you could also create your own custom version of this (or other keys).

Dactyl Manuform as daily driver?
I don't use a DM, but if the question is whether something like the DM could be used as a daily driver, or whether something "less radical" would be preferable, I can say that I've been using my Lagrange as a daily driver for more than a year now. Its geometry is comparable to that of the DM and, from what I can tell, it's more aggressively curved.

How's concavity? Do I really need it?
Having spent quite a bit of time over the past couple of years designing a concave keyboard (the Lagrange) and therefore having a sort of vested interest, psychologically speaking, to say "yes, definitely!", I would say: depends what you mean by "worth it".
