tryadactyl
Methodology for custom tuning a concave, column-staggered, split keyboard with thumb clusters (AKA Dactyl). Centered on an OpenSCAD library for designing all sorts of ortholinear-ish keyboards supporting a variety of keycaps including Cherry profile. Additionally supports trackpoints, and 5-way navigation switches. (by wolfwood)

Does a concave keyboard remove the need for finger splay?
the amount of the design space that's been explored is quite small, that's why i built the try-a-dactyl library to foster experimentation, rather than to produce a preconceived shape, with some tunable params.

Any choc scultped boards ?
i added choc support to the try-a-dactyl library recently https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl

Split Ergo with trackpoint?
I've made a ergo/dactyl library that supports trackpoints: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl i use an auto-switched layer to put mouse keys on the thumb buttons when I'm using it

Where is the cambrian-explosion-like equivalent of ergomechkeyboard but for mice ? I want a mouse with a micro trackball where the scroll is.
i have, and I strongly endorse it: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl/blob/try-1/images/facing-pair-jank.jpg

3d printer to print a dactyl manuform.
my project also has an open case design but doesn't shrink the base plate in the same way. you could however modify it so that the struts aren't maintained at a 90° angle and achieve the same effect: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl

Where can I get the CFX keycap 3D model file?
LPX looks good
- Any choc scultped boards ?
- Choc keycaps that are shorter than MBKs? Or maybe a smart way to modify MBK keycaps?

Choc Vs. Mx for ergonomics
Look at the LPX profile, which was designed with tight dactyls in mind. The keycap is like 16x16 but does not feel more cramped than other choc profiles. https://github.com/levpopov/LPX

My TBK Mini Dactyl Build w/ printed keycaps
Check out LDSA by lowprokb. They arent available for sale yet but the owner released the .stl files on their discord. I cant wait so I've been test printing some in different configurations and as an mt3 enjoyer theyre awesome. LPX keycaps by lev popov has a good writeup on how to and what to look out for when printing caps. Printing them at an angle made so much of a difference.
