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.

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
