Get someone to write a profile for https://get.vial.today/ support.

They are making them because people keep buying them. Turns out most people actually like typing on them.

Less drastic than reflashing could be to reset to factory defaults. Note that this will wipe out any Via/Vial configuration and other configuration (e.g., RGB mode, RGB colour settings, and NKRO setting).

At all possible? Yes, but probably not from Via. I don't know about Vial (it requires special versions of the keyboard firmware).

This is the second one I’ve built but it’s for someone else, this is too many keys for me lol. The case is printed in a super nice matte green then it uses Boba U4Ts that sound and feel super nice. The keycaps are just a placeholder while I test the board, I’m certain they’ll put something that matches. The board is fully compatible with Vial and runs on a USB-C Pro Micro.

VIA doesn't have any support for configuring tap-dances, nor does the QMK Configurator. Your two options are either using VIAL https://get.vial.today/. Or utilizing the feature directly in QMK source code https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_tap_dance.

This firmware update will make it compatible with open source software called Vial... https://get.vial.today/

This was my exact scenario, and I ended up flashing my keyboard with Vial QMK. It’s a Via-like interface that allows you to edit additional QMK settings like the tap-hold timings.

But I've been building keebs for a few years now, and I gotta cut back :-P The biggest issue is it takes forever to print a shell to 'test fit' it. It would actually be cool if you could print the shells upside down so you don't have to print the whole thing to see how it feels.

Oh! looks like there's a OpenSCAD parametric dactyl now (1) I think this was the clojure one I was playing with before: (2)

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

Thanks! Total print time was about 30 hours (much support material). There are not many modifications: its a Dactyl Manuform Mini based on l4u's repo. I only changed the design to fit the USB-C Pro Micros and TRRS-jacks that I bought and added a holder for a reset button.

I've used l4u's repo as base and changed the design to fit the USB-C Pro Micros and TRRS-jacks that I bought.The wiring is quite messy but for my first try I'm very happy.

You should also look at the dactyl manuform mini. It's the repository my keyboard is based on as well and you will find all instructions on how to generate the casing in the README. It is really quite easy and It should be trivial to add an extra row.

Checkout the forks at https://github.com/l4u/dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard . Probably compactyl or tightyl

Carbonfet’s version is one of my favorite. Another interesting version is Derek’s compactyl. There is also a list of other forks at my version https://github.com/l4u/dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard
