Kaleidoscope VS dactyl-manuform

The price for everything is 290 USD (or 265 EUR) + shipping cost. It is about 100 less than currently listed on keyboard.io (when buying with a stand kit and blank keycaps set) and the shipping cost will also be significantly lower (it is over 50 USD to Europe currently considering taxes and customs).

You can read more about the implementation here: https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/tree/master/plugins/Kaleidoscope-Qukeys

Cool! I think I can follow the code now. I'm working with the Kaleidoscope developers to try to make your work a plugin for their ecosystem (github issue) since it works so well (as long as that's OK with you?). I really like TPMouse, but I split my time 50/50 between Windows and Linux. For now I'm going to see if I can port the core of your code to C++. I frankly don't understand most of the supporting code, but I'm confident in my ability to do numerical computing lol.

It’s not really what most people think of as “affordable” but the Model 100 by keyboard.io is an amazing, comfortable, very flexible keyboard. And thanks to the Model 100 finally coming out you can find the previous version (the Model 01) for a lot less, although the switches on the Model 01 tend to fail fairly easily so I can only really recommend that if you’re good at soldering (the Model 100 uses much better switches which are also much easier to replace).

Selling a keyboard.io Atreus keyboard with blank keycaps with rubber dampers and Royal Navy switches.

keyword.io works.

It's sitting on the shelf because I'm still extremely slow at typing on a new layout, but I do love the look and feel of my https://keyboard.io model 01

I love my keyboard.io. It’s ergonomic, beautiful, and programmable.

The Atreus is a 5x4 split with 4 extras in the middle. There a few examples out there, one of them is offered by keyboard.io here https://shop.keyboard.io/products/keyboardio-atreus

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.
