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)

So, I'm in process of building my first ergo keyboard. Just finished left half, can't figure out how to upload(and where to get) software for it. I landed on dactyl by joshreve generated 3d files tinkered with them and finally printed them, soldered and glued everything, now i'm kinda stuck.

Wylder Builds https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard#docker-autobuild or it's parent https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard both have great parameterized trackball options.

If you preferre python goto https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard or https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard

this one but i modified it to a 5x7 and i intend to use these arduino pro micro since they are what are in my current one and it hasen't failed or died yet and these oleds

For generating the print files I can recommend this python generator by joshreve or this online generator. Both are really good for standard manuforms. The python generator has some extra settings though.

Now that I've gotten fairly comfortable with a 40% layout, I'm planning on building a custom parametric dactyl manuform as my desktop keyboard while still using the kyria when traveling or just on the go.

Yes, dactyl. If you are familiar with python - https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard
