dactyl-keyboard VS dactyl-keyboard

So I decided to build myself a ergonomic keyboard I came across various dactyl and dactyl manuform keyboards but in almost all of them it seems like you can't read to the farthest key on the thumb cluster so while surfing the reddit comments I came across this bad boy Demote

This is way cool, trackpoint is a must in my life. Did you consider building upon existing projects, eg dactyl and its derivatives?

If you really want to go fancy pants you can fork https://github.com/veikman/dactyl-keyboard and adapt it to your needs. It contains a yaml description "language" which allows you to modify almost everything of the keyboard.

I love having a split keyboard. It feels far more ergonomic than a single piece keyboard. Just relax your arms and put each half where your hands are. No having to bring your hands together and angle your wrists to get your hands in position.

The other piece of the puzzle for me is curvature. On a flat keyboard there is more stretching or physically moving but adding in a bit of curvature helps cut down on that.

For a few years now I have been using a Dactyl-ManuForm [1] and it has been great. At least for writing / programming. I go back to a regular keyboard for gaming purposes.

Carbonfet's version of the dactyl manuform with custom thumb cluster and 1.5u outer keys.

These [two](https://i.imgur.com/idkihT7.jpeg) [pics](https://i.imgur.com/HmtXNor.jpeg) of some of my old builds should help show how they're wired. The wiring diagrams on the bottom of Tshort's original fork for the dactyl manuform [here](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) also illustrate how they should be wired.

Thanks! I modeled some cases using both the original Clojure project (https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) and the Python port (https://github.com/joshreve/dactyl-keyboard), but ultimately decided to use a vetted model from Jesse at DIY Keyboards (https://www.diykeyboards.com/). Jesse is absolutely wonderful and helped me a lot in the beginning. Support his shop if you can! I used his fork of the python generator to get the .stl files for printing (https://github.com/diykeyboards/dactyl-keyboard) as well as some tips from him on slicer settings.

There a few other things like this but this is what I was planning to use... DM wiring guide

Thanks a lot for those images! that explains a lot! :D Also I was using this as reference for wiring https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard/raw/master/resources/dactyl_manuform_left_wire_diagram.png I believe they are using the Serial one? Also will the TRRS jack have indications which pin is for which?
