The Dactyl-Simplethumb Keyboard

This is a fork of the Dactyl Manuform, which is a fork of Dactyl, a parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar, ergonomic keyboard.

Some changes include:

  • Replaces the thumb cluster to something simple... get it? "Simplethumb"?
  • Make things smaller
  • The curvature is higher when the key is higher.
  • Added some board holder that exposes the board port directly.

Assembly

Generating a Design

Setting up the Clojure environment

Generating the design

  • Run lein repl
  • Load the file (load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj")
  • This will regenerate the things/*.scad files
  • Use OpenSCAD to open a .scad file.
  • Make changes to design, repeat load-file, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
  • When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files

Watch when developing

  • Run lein watch
  • OpenSCAD automatically reload when the file change.

Tips

Wiring

There are many way to wire it, refer to Dactyl Manuform for more info. I used two Arduino Pro Micro, and now a Teensy 2.0++ and an mcp23017 on a prototype board.
