Skeleton-Dactyl-Mini VS dactyl-pcb-single-col

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.

If you're willing to do some handwire, you can check out the Amoebas, or my single-column hotswap PCB

I've chosen to take a bit of a different approach, and make a PCB for single columns, which you can find here: https://github.com/Bastardkb/dactyl-pcb-single-col

Maybe this is interesting for you ! https://github.com/Bastardkb/dactyl-pcb-single-col

Single-Column Dactyl PCB: single-column with 6 rows, hotswap, 1.27mm strip connectors, per-key RGB

If you want to make another type of keyboard /u/Dungeonmasterryan1, please check out the single column PCB: https://github.com/Bastardkb/dactyl-pcb-single-col. It has per-key RGB, hotswap, and will work as long as you respect the standard Dactyl Manuform vertical switch spacing. So many possibilities ! I don't carry them on the shop at the moment, but you can order them from any factory, or I'm in talks with a 3d party shop so he can carry them.
