Hi. I’ve been using Dactyl Manuforms for quite a few years now. Settled down with a 5 column with an extremely sculpted SA keycaps and bobba u4t switches. I use only 2/3 thumb keys regularly but enjoy having more.

I’m interested to know if anyone thinks an alternative is worth trying ? Any input would be appreciated!

    Here’s me, I’m still in the first weeks of transition from a normal vortex mech.

    At around 60wpm.

    Its a bastard Scylla. I put nice!nanos in it so it’s wireless :) left is charging currently…

        Thanks!

        Yes it’s slightly tented and different heights for different columns, but there are also tripod mounts on the bottom of you wanted to go more extreme angle. I’m finding this default pretty nice for now.

        Its not too high which I really like, no need for wrist rests so far.

        But still learning… Had a few bad habits in my old keyboard and lots of muscle memory.

        This was my first build, so hard to say.

        I did a bit of debug in getting it going, but turns out it was my solder rather than the board.

        The nice nanos are I think a 1:1 pinout to the elite C etc so in that way it’s pretty easy.

        But for the actual wireless part, just flash zmk and bobs your mother’s brother. They connect to each other automatically and then have Bluetooth to PC or phone and like 5 slots for different devices, pretty amazing.

        Hmm, I’m posting from Jerboa for lemmy… Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

          Might have been on my side. Boost for lemmy doesn’t open these properly even when it does work. No way to enlarge or download
