[Steam] Very Positive Indie Gems Bundle (16,75€/95%)
I build my own, based on redox. https://imgur.com/a/Cr6NXk0 https://imgur.com/a/DYBSGr9 but still in the process of designing something based on a dactyl

Flux Keyboard
I feel like you're out of the loop when it comes to keyboard nerds. Check out the dactyl-manuform [0]. The days of tiny 40/60 keyboards are gone, they aren't cool anymore (joking of course, use what you want).

Problem with whole column of keys
I followed this wiring diagram: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform/blob/master/resources/dactyl_manuform_right_wire_diagram.png

Dactyl Manuform with Amoeba King PCBs -- Keypresses not detected
I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

After over a year of fiddling about she is almost complete..
that's not entirely accurate. It is a derivation of the dactyl-manuform. I used the generator from this project to produce the case. https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard The earliest biuld of the dactyl-manuform that I can find is: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

Dactyl Manuform Licensing for sale
I have been considering making a few Dactyl Manuform's to sell, but I'm not clear on the licensing involved. The github page lists two licenses, one for the source code, for generating the models which does appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub) and one for the generated models themselves, which does not appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE-models at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub).

keyboard for wrist pain?
If you are willing to spend some money, a dactyl manuform would be very nice, especially with custom wrist rests. The dactyl are modular and 3d printable, and a lot of people actually make them with trackballs in them, so you wouldn’t need to worry about an ergonomic mouse. Failing that; something like a moonlander might also be a good option.

First time building one. 3D printed ergonomic keyboard.
As they said, not by dometyl, rather Derek's separate plate Compactyl.

I designed and built a super-ergonomic trackball-enabled Dactyl Manuform with a crazy mouse level shift mechanism (w/ complete build guide)
This keyboard is an attempt to make a best-of-both-worlds combination between the modular (and support-saving) design of dereknheiley's compactyl manuform (with adjustable wrist rest mounts) and the trackball-enabled design of the noahprince22's tracktyl manuform, forking the firmware from Schievel1's dactyl_manuform_r_track.

Compactyl 5.0
A couple of minor changes i might make for 5.1, but STLs available at https://github.com/dereknheiley/compactyl if you'd like to build it asap.

Chordic Keyboard Layout – For the 42-Key Corne/crkbd
The spacing depends a lot of the configuration, for example some iterations of Derek's compactyl made for SA caps have had very close edge to edge key spacing. Also centre to centre key spacing on key wells is easy to get tighter than Choc spacing, so even if you've configured with a little more gap for whatever your keycaps are compared to mbk, a press between them is going to be less off-centre than it would be for chocs (which also perform worse with off centre presses than mx).

current build might be a little bit of an odd duck in terms of colours
The v4 STLs should be in the repo, that's what's pictured above. I rarely go back and change old STLs unless there's a glaring issue. https://github.com/dereknheiley/compactyl/tree/master/things/compactyl-v4.0-5x6-hotswap

Remove bottom row from Dactyl Manuform?
I've modified dereks compactyl to remove the last row and get a regular 3x5, but I'm assuming you'll want to have the DM thumb cluster with 5 buttons rather than the compactyl one with 3, right?

Favorite Designs with Built-in/Attached Palmrests?
Dereks compactyl repo also provides an adjustable way to position crystalhands palm rest.

Any manuforms with builtin hand rests like kinesis advantage
additionally there are several on github, mine is like https://github.com/dereknheiley/dactyl-manuform-tight but there are at least three others i can’t find from my phone
