I’m thinking about printing my own Dactyl exactly to my measurements but I don’t want to print too many iterations before landing on my preferred layout. Any tips on how I could achieve that?

Cut it up! Print only thumbs for a while that you can “locate” to a standard set of finger keywells. Do the same for other features you’re wanting to customize.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
