tryadactyl VS klavyl

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.

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

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

awesome! you might be interested in my openscad keyboard framework https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl

i have, and I strongly endorse it: https://github.com/wolfwood/tryadactyl/blob/try-1/images/facing-pair-jank.jpg

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

I print them in ABS and haven’t had issues. I think if you are good at soldering even PLA works. Here is a guide with pictures: https://github.com/klavgen/klavyl

Klavgen (Github repo) is an open-source handwired hotstwap keyboard generator based on CadQuery. Also check out Klavyl (Github repo), a keyboard built with Klavgen that uses most of its features.

Yes, it’s part of the STLs of the keyboard (Klavyl) in its repo: https://github.com/klavgen/klavyl/tree/main/stl

Want to see Klavgen's STL outputs, components and how it results in a real keyboard? Check out my Klavyl keyboard, which uses all of its features: https://github.com/klavgen/klavyl
