Skeleton-Dactyl-Mini VS SofleKeyboard

If you have access to a 3D printer, I would recommend handwiring a Skeletyl or Scylla.

if you are looking for a sculpted/keywell design I would start with something like the https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois or https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl then work on refining your needs from those ideas.

There's these made by Quentin, which can be mirrored for Skeletyl/Cnano.

Awesome. Do you think single-key RGB would be an issue? Would it add too many cables? I'm currently looking at the Skeletyl, but am intimidated by the four additional cables per LED.

If you have access to a 3d printer you could print something like a skeletyl or a dactyl manuform and then handwire it with some diodes and wires. That's the cheapest way I can think of.

I'd throw BastardKBs Keyboards into the mix as well as he's open sourcing all of his designs, for instance the Skeletyl or the Charybdis

You can take a look at the Skeletyl. It's a 5x3+3 design. Basically the upper three thumb keys of the one you posted and with 2 keys less on row 3 and 4.

I made changes to the [Sofle Keyboard](https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard) to be in a layout I prefer. I was wondering if I could get a review/sanity check to make sure it will be fine. I didn't make any real changes beyond adding a key so I don't think there was too much room for error. It produced a clean DRC run for both the schematic and pcb. However this is my first forray into keyboard pcb design, so I wanted to make sure that it will work. I primarily wanted the potential option to go wireless in the future which I've seen you are able to do with the sofle. Thank you!

These are the gerber files https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/tree/master/Gerbers/v2 but when I download and put them into the printing websites I found myself with a lot of options I dont understand.

When designing it, I was inspired by the Lily58 and Sofle keyboards. I wanted to create a keyboard that is both gaming friendly and easy to learn when moving from a standard keyboard.

Check out the following: Sofle Tweedle Lily58

Please note, it is specifically the Sofle v2, not the Sofle v1 nor the Sofle v2.1 RGB, that has the greater pinky stagger. The Sofle v2 Choc has a pinky stagger between the v1 and v2. See https://josefadamcik.github.io/SofleKeyboard/ for more info.

https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/tree/master/Gerbers is the gerbers for the sofle PCBs.

Really cool work! Would love to make a version without the number row (48 key is better for me when traveling) and make it wireless. Will it be in a new repository or will it be added to https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard ?
