Dactyl Manuform

Hand-wired split ergonomic keyboard. Started on KMK (Python), migrated to QMK (C++). Learning PCB design for the next one.

Hand-wired KMK → QMK PCB design

3D-printed shell, hand-wired matrix, Elite-C controllers. Started with KMK firmware in Python because it seemed approachable. Hit its limits within weeks. Learned why C++ wins in embedded systems and migrated to QMK.

Currently learning PCB design for v2. The goal is a proper custom board with per-key RGB and hot-swap sockets.

Let's talk

Have a project in mind?

Whether it's a new build or something that needs a fresh perspective — I'd love to hear about it.
