Are there any choc dactyl manuform keyboards that I can print myself?
This is a 34 key choc dactyl https://github.com/geoffder/dometyl-keyboard/tree/main/things/dartyl_choc

Are topre considered Ergonomic?
If you are fishing for something weirder, but still Topre, the Dometyl is a Dactyl offshoot that uses rubreh domehs and sliders. I have not tried it myself.

Minimising finger movement, but not the kind of movement you're thinking
You could use domes. https://github.com/geoffder/dometyl-keyboard/ offers some technical advice and links to some products. Complex, and also expensive.

This might be heresy, but...
You're totally not crazy... or at least not alone in this! You may want to have a look at https://github.com/geoffder/dometyl-keyboard/

How to get top plate of Dactyl Manuform without the bulky body that drops down ?
Try "skeletal" designs such as those from bastardkb.com or one generated from dometyl.
-
Don't see many failure posts,
Firstly, please consider a Skeletyl instead of a conventional Dactyl. Skeletyl has a lot less material and so is a lot faster to print. If you need more than 5x3+3 keys, you can customize your own Skeletyl style case as well: https://github.com/geoffder/dometyl-keyboard

Are there any fully optimized layouts for 30 key layouts like the Hummingbird?
The Hummingbird page has a layout https://github.com/PJE66/hummingbird but I'm not a fan of combos - even if it's just for the lesser used keys.

My Bean KB
My still WIP splitkb. Reversible pcb, based on rp2040, hot swap and hidden diodes inside led switch space. Heavily inspired by the Humming Bird kb (https://github.com/PJE66/hummingbird) but I think that it has "too many" keys ;) so I just didn't use the two extra thumb keys.

Extra GPIO on Seeed Xiao Controllers via ZMK
No way! I was so convinced it was limited because of boards like the humminbird!
-
I prefer a more aggressive pinky stagger but the NASA Roman is not bad
there’s always the Hummingbird …
-
How far does the rabbit hole still go?
I mean the Hummingbird is only one board for two hands …

New board with matching watch 🍉
The keyboard is called hummingbird: https://github.com/PJE66/hummingbird

What does your perfect wireless OLKB look like?
powerful CPU in a tiny footprint – people seem to have fun trying to make them work (Hummingbird is probably the poster child)
-
What the advantage of single pcb boards?
Hummingbird is so cool, if you can do small.

Fit Colemak-DH on a 26+4 key hummingbird-like layout
Recently I am thinking about getting one of Hummingbird-like ultra-minimal 30-key keyboards, for example, there is also Midge which uses a very similar design.
