Ergonomic Dactyl manuform 4x6 handwired keyboard (3D printed and wired by myself)
It's a split keyboard so my hands rest at the width of my shoulders (no contracture neither on my neck nor shoulders at the end of the day)
It's an ortogonal keyboard, so it is like a numpad keyboard where all keys are in a grid shape. The normal keyboard has its rows misplaced because typewriter need rods below each key, It's a shame that we already use that old layout when computer doesn't need anymore.
Left thumb finger is enter key, Right thumb finger is space key (the biggest vertical key), although I already have 6 keys to each thumb finger.
It's a qwerty keyboard. When I keep pressed left thumb blue keycap, I have cursors on the left hand and a Numpad on the right hand. When I keep pressed the right Thumb blue keycap, I get access to functions keys (F1-F12) and symbols. When I release those specials keys, it returns to a standar qwerty keyboard.
I didn't install LED on each key, I don't need that. I just need something that works.
I use AutoHotkey to remap keyboard/functions/macros when I use differents software. I extensively use my 18 programable mouse buttons that AutoHotkeys changes when I use Mozilla, Blender, FreeCommander (like windows explorer), notepad++ and some games.
I'm happy with it, although if I build another one, it would be a 5x6, just to have another row of keys so I could use more macros, I won't setup numbers on that row like a normal keyboard, is not useful for me.
Yes, I know what you are thinking right now: "strange keyboard" right?
Cheers.
