dactyl-keyboard VS dactyl-keyboard

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

https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard/tree/hotswap/things This is where I pulled the stl from however it doesn't come with a base plate stl so I had to make that myself

What generator did you use? I’ve never been able to get this one to load: http://dactyl.siskam.link/

there used to be a generator at https://dactyl.siskam.link/ but is not loading now. (easily generated files from your input in a form) you could also have them built to order from https://ohkeycaps.com/products/built-to-order-dactyl-manuform-keyboard

There are external holders for pro micros and elite C under https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard/tree/refaktor/resources/public

Try this: https://dactyl.siskam.link

I'm happy to print the case for one for you for the cost of the filament, if you want (20EUR or so). Shipping to outside of europe might make local printers cheaper. There's a generator for custom shapes at https://dactyl.siskam.link

You can generate a custom one with https://dactyl.siskam.link/ (demo of how to use here: https://youtu.be/9nwXUfi49oU)

I want to build the lightcycle (MX variant) (may make some adjustments e.g. making the outermost columns 1.25u like my Kinesis 360). Additionally, here is what I'm thinking:

Handwired, QMK on Raspberry Pi Pico, model from https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard with modified thumb cluster. 3d printed with wooden PLA, sanded and coated. Hackysacks as provisional wrist support 😉

I plan to use PIN GPB6 and GPB7 on The MCP23018 for the rotary encoder. I am using QMK Version 0.17.9 and followed the build of this QMK - GUIDE

Retail wise, the MoErgo Glove80 is a Dactyl like board with low profile switches.

It's a custom request, but is closest to the original dactyl key placement.

Thanks, I take no credit for the design that's for sure, I think the original dactyl is here
