Are there any keyboards that handle the natural angle of the pinky?
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

Domed keyboard contour?
The ErgoWarp has an arch in the x-direction.

Anyone tried the ErgoWarp?
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?

3d scan/measurements to 3d keyboard?
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!

Gneiss01: A Fun Custom Keyboard Project
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.

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

Another monroewilliams Trackball!
I did lay out a simple carrier board as a direct replacement for the breadboard in a more permanent build, and had a few of them made up through OshPark. It's really basic -- no components, just some traces and solder pads. (My first time trying to use kicad, I think it turned out decent for what it is.)

Operate TB with how many fingers - accuracy vs. ease of clicking
not quite sure what you are getting at... regarding thumb use, you can always buy used FXes (or new ones if you want a crazy markup). if you want something slightly more modern, there is the cordless FX. the DIY trackball you speak of is publicly available here: https://github.com/monroewilliams/trackball

Looking for help with some sort of 3D scan of Logitech Trackman FX Cordless(T-RA17).
isnt a scan, but its a 3d printable trackball with roughly similar shape: https://github.com/monroewilliams/trackball

Undefeatable wrist ache/discomfort
For me, the hand position used with the Logitech Trackman Marble FX was near perfect for reducing hand and wrist stress. Unfortunately that model was discontinued many years ago, and they're now hard to find, expensive, and generally antiquated (PS/2 interface, dodgy early optical sensor, no scroll wheel). This was the main reason I designed and built my own trackball. Its shape was inspired by the Marble FX, although I modeled it from scratch in OpenSCAD.
- Logitech Trackman Marble FX was great.

Hey! Is there a simple to use optical mouse sensor for ESP32 ???
For my scratch-built trackball project, I used these breakout boards, and based my initial code off of the seller's sample code. His sample is for Arduino. but it's basically pretty straightforward C code that isn't hard to adapt to any microcontroller. For my purposes I needed to run two of the sensors off one microcontroller, so I turned into a C++ class that runs one sensor per instance, and supports a couple different related sensors (ADNS9800 and PMW3360).

I have finally built it! u/MonroeWilliams, you are a legend! This is the greatest trackball known to mankind. FINALLY I can work without pain. The work that Monroe put into it is insane. THANK YOU, GOD AMONG MEN
The ball-spin mousewheel is a really nice touch, too
