Dactyl Manuform with places for screwing single key pcb
I've tried the MXLEDBitPCB personally for a dactyl and it worked great. (I used the "Container" variant). My dactyl case holes were a tiny bit too big, but once i got the hotswap sockets in, it held the keys well enough to stop the wiggle. My only complaint is that the 5x5 PCB layout made it a pain to break them apart, and it left little fiberglass nubs i had to sand down. The labeling was a bit easier to understand than the Amoebas, but it also not as fancy. The big advantage these have, is they support through-hole diodes, as opposed to tiny smd diodes.

Hot swap sockets in hand-wired build?
dometyl can generate keywells with hotswap socket slots, you can hot-glue/crazy-glue them in place or just yolo them in place. I prefer to use 1u pcb's, since soldering wire to them is much easier. The MxLEDBitPCB atlanta support hotswap sockets and you can have many manufactured very cheaply by jlcpcb.com.

Finally done - my version of the Tractyl Manuform!

Choc Amoeba
MxLEDBitPCBs have a Choc variant, too: https://kbd.news/MXLEDBitPCB-1060.html

Per key RGB? - hand wired Dactyl manuform - non-matrix wiring for switches.
Also worth noting that Amoeba Royale has very small LED solder pads compared to mxledbit's "container" ( https://github.com/swanmatch/MxLEDBitPCB/tree/master/container ) board.

When you order the wrong LEDs but are too stubborn
. The trouble? I got the Altana board made which only supports sk6812 mini LEDs (for an underglow I suppose) and do NOT support the sk6812 mini *-e* LEDs which tend to be the first result that come up if you just search sk6812 mini. See this wonderful github thread of another fellow keyboard enthusiast making the same mistake. In fairness the support rubric is pretty clear so I was just being stupid/hasty/whatever.
-
Does the order of connecting per-key and underglow LEDs matter?
I much preferred the idea of SK6812MINI-E LEDs, but couldn't source a PCB that worked with chocs and also the MINI-Es. I decided to try handwiring one, then found the MxLEDBitPCB: the choc version supports MINI-Es, and it looked as if it might make handwiring a little more straightforward for a relative newbie.

Need help with RGB in my Dactyl
Hey all! I'm trying to put together a handwired dactyl build with hotswap and RGBs in each switch using the MxLEDBitPCB Amoeba.

$70 Dactyl Manuform and my mechanical keyboard journey
MxLEDBitPCB altana from jlcpcb $6 with shipping - you may want to choose the container version if you want backlighting but the wiring if more involved so I did not go this route

This is my first custom keyboard and thought "how bad can hand wiring be." I've drastically underestimated the time requirement lol
I printed a hot swap compatible case from files generated using this repo from Wylder Builds. The sockets fit pretty well without glue, but not all are tight enough to never pop out. Depends on your print tolerances (mine are okayish).
- Wylderbuilds new trackball model tweaks and BRICKS for easy, cheesy tenting!

I test printed a Dactyl case to see if I like the shape
Regarding trackball and thumb cluster variants of a Dactyl ManuForm: wylderbuilds github has pretty much the majority of, if not every, Dactyl ManuForm thumb cluster and trackball thumb cluster variations.

Let's Design a Keyboard with Ergogen v4: Introduction – FlatFootFox
https://www.etsy.com/shop/Wylderbuilds is a place I've used in the past. They sell parts and completed keyboards, but also have a link out to github with their modifications, at https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard. The whole dactyl space is definitely a rabbit hole, though.

Help with choosing part for my first dactyl manuform build
There's examples of dactyl manuform cases with trackball housing (example GitHub repo), though the circular display is going to be a design topic in itself. Most likely the display protrudes from the upper inner side of case slightly, like a sky scraper roof top Helipad 😋
