Thank you very much for the github repo. Droppin' a like for ya. Handwired ones seem like they're a lot better than those self-assembly pcb kits out there. Who wanna spend a 1000 dollars on a kinesis when we can make one lol.

hello there

Nice stickers! I would hang onto those ones until at least 2024!!

Very nice. I always dreamed of a Manu but never attempted it because I find the hand wiring so messy in general.

Intending on making more videos or ...?

how can I get the bottom part?

A lb is about 453g.

thanks for the update

Hey mate, enjoyed the 2 videos. Since your keyboard uses QMK, have you tried VIA to configure it? Configuration is instant without flashing, which is great while honing in on your ideal setup. Plus you can keep VIA app (or webpage if your browser supports WebHID, such as Chromium based browsers do) open so you won't forget what's where while playing around. It also supports more advanced stuff such as mod-tap, layer-toggle-dual-function keys and macros, and many QMK codes, all without flashing.

I suspect the switches are Gateron Aliaz silent *tactile* switches (*clicky* would haven't with an audible click, the opposite of silent)

The backward society part killed me😂😂😂😂.

what company did u get the steel from

You are way too good to make so few videos ❤

well done! awesome project

I hear there is this resin goop stuff that you can put on to help fill the ridges, its fairly cheap too. for the future, i might recommend putting some of that stuff on first and then sanding to cut your sanding time by a lot. Also legit want to design a similar board to this one, just a little more subdued, and i would wanna print it in copper infused pla for that heft!

I see you are as crazy as I am(fancy keyboard, window manager and vim) Right now I am struggling with my dactyl manuform and I need some help but I can't find any so if you could help me a bit I would be really gratefull.

I may like in "backwards society" but at least I have a lifetime supply of cat 5 cable and screw terminal adapters to never be plagued by crossover cable trolling 9:20

I love tree supports for this application. I'm working on a dactyl as well and the supports came out in one or two pieces without too much effort

7:25 Well damn, I didn't even know soldering a whole keyboard manually was possible, lol.

wow, just found out aboutt this channel! super cool build and super practical!

Nice quality :) Check out the nrfmicro for DYI bluetooth support. I myself have the "original" dactyl lightcycle (the smaller one), I think it looks better than any other version, but is also harder to print. Mine was printed by someone with not so good 3d printer and I'm using it still after 2 years :)

I wanted to thank you because I rectently got into keyboards and been eyeing this for a while but this is what i need to jump in an build it. I wanted to ask, where did you get your keycaps from?

If you need to sand it anyway why not flip the case to print with way less supports?

Looks gorgeous, great work on the finish of it.

Thank you so much. Can you talk a little more about 1. Wrist rests? 2. Is it difficult to use all 6 thumb cluster keys?

awesome work!!

Hello borther, will you please help me to make one of these, i have all the parts i am strangle to make it help me !

Hi what about the wrist rest? How can we build one that has a wrist rest? I feel I really need it.

Until today when i wanted to buy a split keyboard but cannot (lack of suppliers in my country) i learned that building your own keyboard is a thing. And I'm so desperate that I will do it. Great video. Very informative for my purpose.

I'm doing this the cheaty way with a foldable silicone keyboard

Hey great video, thank you for sharing your experience. I am building a dactyl manuform right now and I was wondering what would you do differently if you were to rebuild it? Also I am thinking about getting the water jet cut metal base to hold the keyboard in place, do you think 5mm is too much weight? I was thinking 3mm could do as well.

I likeit

I was looking to get a 5x6 dactyl, but I didn't trust the math on 2*5*6=60 so I counted the slots on the picture and I'm sure glad I did. There was a few additional keys below the 5x6 rows, I guess for programming layer keys.

Yeah the boys, loving the language. Coming from Melbourne

What are those connectors you used to attach the wires to the posts on the controller?

so grate! incredible are you superman!

Really happy to find this, so algorithm works :) BTW: for the alt+1 I just use double taps. You can assign them to another combinations and the detection works very well.

I have to ask. I've built a redox keyboard and love it, but the itch to make a new one like yours is building. So the Question of how much was the metal work?

Man I wanted to make one, but my printer isnt very good and the moonlander worked out as a solid alternative. Just wish I had the concave shape on the moonlander

if you use flux and some ventilation, you can just use the soldering iron to burn insulation away as you solder multiple connections on a single wire like that. The flux and heat will keep it from contaminating the solder joint.

Ah mate, great job!

Really nice! I've had my eye on the Dactyl Manuform for years and keep putting it off. Seeing what a lovely job you did on your build has inspired me to get off my arse!

3:49 yeah thats fair

thats actually really cool man

I agree that prints need sanding to get the finish complete. I think it compliments the CAD and handwiring. Just like you said in the video, you're already doing the work, might as well do it too. Great build, your keyboard looks hella nice

backwards society, LOL its an INCH MATE, it's a 1/16 of an inch, the ruler doesnt need to be perfect
