dactyl_manuform_r_track VS tractyl-manuform-keyboard

This is the build guide I am using. https://github.com/Schievel1/dactyl_manuform_r_track SPI does not seem to be needed. I guess that he chose the Arduino micro for the right side because of the additional pins for the trackball as well as the 5v output for the left side pro micro VCC. Would you recommend to switch to eg two raspberry picos and use 3.3v for VCC on the left?

So I was somewhat surprisingly able to successfully print half of /u/qqurn's tractyl manuform design on my Ender 3 Pro (using STLs from the tutorial here: https://github.com/Schievel1/dactyl_manuform_r_track)

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.

So I made a guide! Find it here: https://github.com/Schievel1/dactyl_manuform_r_track

The tractyl manuform from noahprince22 outputs a model with a test hand with the finger length input from base to knuckle to knuckle to tip. I've found it gives a pretty decent first impression of the alignment of the dactyl in your hand. To get it just you do need some iterations with a test model

https://github.com/noahprince22/tractyl-manuform-keyboard this one does, its quite different from a lot of other manuforms, so it might be worth just using the code that generates the slots for the daily sockets and adding to a variant you like

Tractyl Manuform

So, I followed this guide to build my next keyboard. The only difference between mine and this one is that I added an encoder to the right side, and I used 2 Elite-c instead of 2 Pro Micro.

I wrote a build guide for mine here https://github.com/noahprince22/tractyl-manuform-keyboard. Basically just some ball bearings. It's less frictiony than the Logitech trackball I tested in best buy.
