The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

    This was the first keyboard I made, all resin printed, hand wired and soldered, wireless with KMK and an 1860 in each side.

    It is awesome, it helped my shoulder pain while sitting at my desk.

    I then thought I’ll build a Corne Choc, ordered PCB’s (thankfully extra) and just struggled to build this damned thing. Finally finished and I hate that keyboard, I’d rather type on the laptop keyboard than that.

    I like the Dactyl way too much and need to build a portable version with a mouse ball or trackpad or that little joystick thingy. Just need a compact one for travel.

    The Dactyls are a nice keyboard once you get touch typing down.
