tryadactyl VS nydas_keyboard_v2

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

Ah, I hadn’t checked but I’d assumed it was in the git repo. Blatant plug, but if you just want a ‘per key’ pcb, you can grab mine. Gerber is in the repo.

Blatant plug (I have no shame): here is a per-key pcb with led and hotswap chocs that I designed. Feel free to use, modify, or don’t. I won’t be offended.

Repo is here if you’re interested, but the case is nowhere near ready to build (IMO). https://github.com/nydasco/nydas_keyboard_v2

Figured I’d share my attempt. The code will get worse before it gets better lol. Still a work in progress. I’d like to round the edges, need to connect the ‘fingers’, add a base plate, OLED mount, maybe trackball. But this gives an idea of what is in my head. https://github.com/nydasco/nydas_keyboard_v2/tree/main/NydasDactyl
