dactyl-keyboard VS nijuni

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).

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.

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.

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 😋

Have you checked out Nijuni yet? It's a Corne with more stagger. https://github.com/krikun98/nijuni

Two Keyboards. One wired and one wireless, Nijuni both by u/krikun98 from this repo here:

As said, there is no space for the jst connector on corne-like boards. You can place it instead trrs jack but it limits you to wireless communication - can be done though if you plan use it exclusively like this. I'd say it's not needed, you won't change battery often anyway, you can solder the wires and have only a power switch. For example you can take a look on nijuni https://github.com/krikun98/nijuni. If you like nijuni, it would be easier to replace switch footprints to chocs than modifying corne. I can also humble brag about my own design with switch and jst - but note that it's not assembled/tested yet https://github.com/zzeneg/pica40.
