    I love my Dactyl Manuform - Been using it for a few years now and loved every moment of it.

    Been planning to print+build a second one with the trackball built-in, but I can’t find a generator that includes all the options I want, and I have yet to take the time to comprehend openscad. I have bought the parts I would need for it though, so I can eventually make it happen.

    I’m honestly kind of surprised how many people put their trackballs between their keyboard halves. It doesn’t feel natural or ergonomic to me to bend my hand inward like that.

    Dactyls are great! I wish there was somehow a method of making one that had a trackball for the index fingers rather than the thumb.
