• Dactyl Manuform 5x6 full with trackball.
  • Resin case, Amoeba King PCBs, and hot swaps.
  • Used Kailh Box Navy switches.
  • Adafruit KB2040 and PMW3389 for the controllers.
  • TRRS with full duplex between the halves.

Took my sweet time wiring up to not burn myself out, but I think it was worth the wait! My soldering skills certainly improved by the end of it. 😅

Also, big shout-out to Wylderbuilds!

      It's the intersection of Ergonomic and Mechanical keyboards. Some people get into it due to RSI, because it's more comfortable, looks cool, or just for fun!

      Some companies do sell premades or even manufactured products. You can also 3d print a case and build it yourself. There's a lot of customization that can go into it. From RGB and OLEDs, to trackballs or thumbsticks. Which depending on what you're looking for may force you to DIY.
