The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

    Respectful, I disagree. I’ve learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they’re unintentionally blunt.

      What could I learn from that?

      The person has not built a dactyl, they have not used this dactyl which has several customisations, they have not sat at my desk, they don’t have my body.

      They’re just stating something useless from a position of ignorance because… why? If you don’t know what you’re talking about just don’t say anything. 90% of the misinformation on the internet would disappear overnight if people followed that. As a happy side effect men online might learn some basic manners too.
