Finally finished my first build! - eviltoast
  • 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!

    How do you find the right hand thumb keys? How many of them do you need and how many are east and comfortable to reach?

      No issue with the right thumb keys. I do think it might be possible to squeeze one more key in, but would be a bit of a design challenge.

      I can easily reach all of them comfortably. Depending on the key, I use different parts of the thumb to hit it. For example, space uses the inside of the thumb whereas enter is closer to the pad on my hand.
