ErgoWarp VS Charybdis

A Dactyl handles some of the press angle, and splay is the term to describe pinky (and other fingers) outward motion angles on the horizontal plane. I have yet to see a keyboard implement both besides the really interesting ErgoWarp. https://github.com/pseudoku/ErgoWarp/blob/master/Photo/Proto6.jpg

The ErgoWarp has an arch in the x-direction.

I am intrigued by the thoughtfulness behind https://github.com/pseudoku/ErgoWarp. Like, enough that I'm tempted to build one. But it looks like a PITA to build, and even more so to get used to, and project looks dead... Has anyone tried one and would you share your experience?

The ErgoWarp has finger joint lengths as parameters. But it seems to me to be numerically fragile, and even after being based on hand measurements and some kind of fancy interpolation, it still has a section for tweaks. That means the fancy math isn't quite good enough to directly generate a perfect keyboard!

The ErgoWarp has a slight negative horizontal curvature. It's also the only one I've seen where you shave down your keyswitches and keycaps so you can fit more. I want to explore that.

This diagram would place the ErgoWrap on the seabed.

https://github.com/pseudoku/ErgoWarp probably, but this project looks to be dead.

Ergowarp, adjusted to my hands

I am using https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/tenting-stand-with-wrist-pads With the Gelpads from Ali. And are quite happy with them. Interestingly do they change after a while and don’t snap to each others, but that’s not a problem.

yep what he said. check this out https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/blob/main/files/mods/readme.md

I started my split journey by building a dactyl manuform with amoeba king pcbs. Now I use a charybdis nano because it has an integrated trackball :D

I use a Bastard Keyboard Charybdis Nano. It's an ergo 3x5 keyboard with built in trackball. I built it myself but you can get them pre built too.

Most of my free time is spent researching and engineering for various open source projects. I also enjoy building custom keyboards, right now I'm rocking a Bastard Keyboards Charybdis that I hand built myself. Fun facts: I'm left handed and used to train and ride horses competitively.

Stumbled upon this keyboard while searching for Dactyl Manuform pcbs. Thought I'd share it here as well.. Also its open source : https://github.com/Bastardkb/charybdis Bastardkb website : https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/

The design is not mine to share, but it is fully open source -- one of the reasons I really respect bastardkb and wanted to build this board. You can find the files (and license) on the bastardkb github.
