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.
How does that work? Does it move all the keys around for you or is it, like, double-sided? Or it just changes the layout used by the system while you’re in a game? That sounds useful as long as you aren’t typing in chat.
My keyboard has no letters on it, so the layout doesn’t matter. I made myself learn to not look at it.
The switch changes what the keyboard is telling the computer I’m pressing. The computer itself is set to QWERTY.
I’ve never seen one like that before. Very interesting!
