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.

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

Glove80: Comparison of hand in home position
For the Amoeba Royal, first clone the repo: https://github.com/mtl/keyboard-pcbs/tree/master/amoeba-royale, then zip up the gerber folder and upload it to your PCB manufacturer of choice. I used jlcpcb and you can find the settings I used here: . Note that I ordered 5 panels of 10x5 pieces, so I ended up with 250 pieces. You may want to adjust accordingly. Btw the pinout reference for wiring is also in the same directory.

Just realized I soldered on all the diodes the wrong way.
You can get the gerber files from This repo and get them really cheap from jlcpcb or other pcb services.
