Dactyl ManuForm Keyboard

This is a fork of the Dactyl-ManuForm. The Dactyl-Manuform is a fork of the Dactyl with the thumb cluster from ManuForm. Some features from the Dactyl Manuform Mini are kept along with new features added.

Features

  • The use of sidenubs can be disabled. Sidenub should be disabled if you use Kailh, and Outemu. If you use Cherry MX, Gateron or Zealios switches, you can enable the sidenubs.

sidenubs

  • Toggle for outer column between using 1.5u sized keys and 1u sized keys. If enabled, the rows which use 1.5u sized keys can be specified.

1.5u outer column

  • Toggle for an extra row of keys for the outer column(s).

extra bottom row

  • Toggle for an extra inner column before the thumbcluster with (nrows-2) rows.

inner column

  • Toggle between using the manuform thumb cluster, the mini thumb cluster designed by l4u, and the cf thumb cluster.
  • The cf thumb cluster uses the same keycaps as the manuform, but is more compact. The thumb only has to move one position left or right from its neutral position to reach all the keys.

thumb clusters

  • Removable MCU holder. This holder slides into a cutout on the back wall of the case. Designed for RP2040 based MCU shown here. For case sizes that are 5x6 or smaller, use 2040 holder (alt).step.
