kb-layout-evaluation VS dactyl-manuform

Maybe you can get Portuguese bigrams frequency and run this: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation I don’t know how different it is from French or Spanish.

I wrote a layout analyzer at some point and that was the reasoning.

And indeed quantitative studies tend to show that Colemak can be very good for other languages, for instance French: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation (although you need to modify it slightly to add accented characters to reasonable spots). Interestingly enough, French variant of Qwerty (Azerty) is much worse than Colemak or anything.

A while ago I coded a little comparison between layouts to help me with that decision, you might find it useful: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation

On that topic some might be interested in this little analysis:

These scoring systems already exist. Here's the first one I found: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation

I build my own, based on redox. https://imgur.com/a/Cr6NXk0 https://imgur.com/a/DYBSGr9 but still in the process of designing something based on a dactyl

I feel like you're out of the loop when it comes to keyboard nerds. Check out the dactyl-manuform [0]. The days of tiny 40/60 keyboards are gone, they aren't cool anymore (joking of course, use what you want).

I followed this wiring diagram: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform/blob/master/resources/dactyl_manuform_right_wire_diagram.png

I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

(For those outside the keyboard world https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform )

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

I have been considering making a few Dactyl Manuform's to sell, but I'm not clear on the licensing involved. The github page lists two licenses, one for the source code, for generating the models which does appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub) and one for the generated models themselves, which does not appear to permit commercial use ( dactyl-manuform/LICENSE-models at master · abstracthat/dactyl-manuform · GitHub).

If you are willing to spend some money, a dactyl manuform would be very nice, especially with custom wrist rests. The dactyl are modular and 3d printable, and a lot of people actually make them with trackballs in them, so you wouldn’t need to worry about an ergonomic mouse. Failing that; something like a moonlander might also be a good option.
