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.
Oh now this is different than I’ve heard, some others have had issues switching back and forth. So maybe I will give it a try, once I’ve got qwerty up to a decent speed and I feel comfortable with it.
Right now it’s a problem because if I’m in a hurry, I’m tempted to type the old way, or a broken mixture of the two that messes with what I’ve learned. Not good. Gotta slow down and do it right, bah…
Thanks for the recommendations, I’m gonna put a 3d printed split board on my list of things I’ll definitely get to some day and totally won’t get pushed off the back of the furthest back burner lol
