That’s a really cool build, well done! I’m wondering how you’re using the trackball and mouse clicks. Do you use the trackball with your index and middle finger and have left and right mouse click on the thumb keys to press them with the thumb?

Yes I use the trackball with my index and middle finger and the 3 way thumb switch is mapped to left/middle/right mouse click. The trackpad is used for scrolling.

One of the cleanest fingerpunch builds I’ve seen yet. Outstanding work!

Why are some of the blue keycaps upside down?

That’s just because of the shape of the keycaps, I want the keycaps of the thumb keys going “upwards”.

This is beautiful. How much did it end up costing al told?

Roughly 400eu, but I’d say half of it are the keycaps and the case.

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
