A dactyl manuform keyboard with integrated trackball. The images and build description is for the 4x5 variant. A 5x6 variant exists here but is yet untested.

Quote from the tabloids: The comfort is through the roof!

Key Attributes

  • integrated 34mm trackball using the PMW3360 sensor
  • ceramic trackball bearings
  • lowpro choc v1 keyswitches, 40 keys total
  • USB-C interlink cable
  • blackpill STM32 from weact

The list below assumes you want to build a 4x5 variant with a trackball on the right side and no trackball on the left side...so modify to suit your needs.

right caseNo1
bearing holderNo3
blackpill holderNo2
plate1-yes and 1-no2

If you want to build a 5x6 variant, the print list is essentially the same, but use the plate, left case and right case in this folder.

I use the top row for mouse keys which works out well with the trackball position.
