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.
