Handwired One-Handed Gaming Keyboard

Ergonomic one-handed mechanical gaming keyboard with thumb cluster and multi-layer keymapping powered by QMK and an arduino pro micro, all fully handwired


Summary

  • Keyboard layout is a Dactyl Manuform 5x6
  • 3D printed by yours truly with white PLA
    • Took ~72 hours to print on high detail/resolution settings (0.12mm layer height)
  • Used QMK firmware to create custom firmware
  • Switches Used: Gateron Clear linear mechanical switches
  • Keycaps Used: Transparent DSA profile keycaps
  • Handwired used 1/4" copper tape, 1N4148 diodes, and 20AWG wire, with a different color wire being used to interconnect each column
  • 3D model used was not designed by me. It can be found in GitLabs here: Dactyl Manuform GitLab
