• 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!

    Looks siiick! How do you like the trackball, how many keys can you reach with the same thumb comfortably?

      So far, so good! I do think I need to tweak the DPI a bit but was actually surprised how quickly it felt normal to use. And I can easily reach all the keys. It’s a similar layout to the Kinesis Advantage that I’ve used for a long time.

      Only issue I’ve discovered so far is that I might need to put some rubber feet on it or something. I found it slides around my desk a little too much. 😅
