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

2023 Jun 19 Stickied -FAQ- & -HELPDESK- thread - Boot problems? Power supply problems? Display problems? Networking problems? Need ideas? Get help with these and other questions!
I know that I can have multiple ports using https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB, but I wanted to know if I could make one port a device and the other a host at the same time using the given PIOs and state machines.

usb_embedded + RP2040
I think a PIO based USB driver is a better approach, but someone needs to do the work of porting that to Ada.

Recommend MCU with dual USB - one host and one device IF?
That would be Pico-PIO-USB library or some people combine two Pico boards (or one board with two RP2040 MCUs).
-
USB on pi pico
If you need both device and host interfaces at the same time, then you can either use Pico-PIO-USB library or combine two Pico boards (or one board with two RP2040 MCUs).

Using a Pi4 as a keyboard emulator
However, not so many microcontrollers can easily do USB keyboard input (host) and output (device) at the same time, if that's what you need. You could look at the Teensy 4 or Teensy 4.1 for example. There might be other Arduino-compatible boards that can do it, I'm not sure which. Apparently it's also possible on the Pi Pico with this project: sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB: USB host/device implementation using PIO of raspberry pi pico (RP2040). But that's a bit of an advanced hack, and I can't tell you how well it works.

RP2040: Okay to use USB type A male-to-male for programming?
Maybe you could use something like this: https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB

Summoning the ergo experts for guidance
you should check out https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB for someone that has implemented USB chaining with rp2040. unfortunately it uses up both PIOs.

USB HOST alternative!
The pico just seems to be a flexible cheap option for USB applications. An example https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB

reading a usb keyboard input
Highly experimental for advanced users. Adds a second USB port to Pi Pico using the PIO controller so the pico can connect to a PC and keyboard at the same time. https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB

Using the second USB port on a split keyboard as a passthrough for a mouse, is it possible with QMK?
watch the video to see this non-qmk firmware for the Rasberry pi Pico used to daisy chain devices with fixed device and host ports https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB
