dactyl-keyboard VS su120-keyboard

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

They are SU120. There is a bug in the file that prevents JLCPCB from recognizing/producing them. (I've got a PR in to fix that). Elecrow is fine with it though.

The SU120. Hot swap only, but very clever design. Columns and rows are connected by default, so one only needs to connect the ones you break. The creator has made it available in git (link)

I'm using the su120 boards. They are snap-apart-optional single key pcbs that can be joined with screws rather than wires. (I'm sick of soldering Amoebas for dactyls). You can see them in the upper-left. They support hotswap sockets, rotary encoders, and can be a board by themseleves if you don't break them apart and solder on a pro-micro. I'm concerned about not finding an optimal connector length for the angled thumb pieces - but I'm not above a little bit of soldering now and then.

Isn’t the su 120 what you are looking for?

You can also use su120 for this. I made a magnetic adjustable layout tester keyboard using those.

Someone recently posted a dactyl build using these. https://github.com/e3w2q/su120-keyboard

A set of Dactyl Manuform 5x6 cases with 5-key thumb clusters and external PCB trays printed in clear PLA. Holes have undercut notches for cherry/compatible and small screw holes (M1.4x5 self-tapping screws) to fit SU120 PCBs per key. Comes with threaded inserts and screws for base plates.

I used SU120 bit boards (from /u/e3w2, thanks for open-sourcing it!) as a base, to which I added SK6812 mini-e support (had to remove support for choc sockets though).
