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

Is there a Dactyl (or Tractyl?) Manuform with Trackball where Number Row wold normally be (i.e Top)?

- Print dactyl manuform 40% (model from git). But it's really uncomfortable to type for me, there are too many thumb keys. Which dactyl do you use? Are there any suggestions or links to models?

Best Dactyl trackball placement?
I would disagree. I don't shift my hands when using the "back" trackball on my Daqtyl: https://github.com/uqs/daqtyl/blob/main/things/all-test.dec.stl

DacMan with trackball or no trackball?
Definitely go with a trackball, though you need to figure out whether you want/need it on the thumb or fingertips. Shamless plug: https://github.com/uqs/daqtyl/blob/main/things/all-test.dec.stl
