Dactyl Lynx keyboard

The Dactyl Lynx Keyboard

The Dactyl Lynx is a parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar, ergonomic keyboard.

This is my fork/rewrite of the original Dactyl. I've changed a few things:

  • Rewrote the generating code in Python instead of Clojure, using SolidPython2 and spkb.
  • Rotated thumb clusters to be close to vertical (inspired by the Dactyl-ManuForm and the way my thumbs move; see also Viktor Eikman's DMOTE and Concertina keyboards)
  • Steeper tenting angle
  • 1U or 2U keycaps - easy to source
  • A new adjustable skeletal design (which will probably change once I solidify the physical placement of the wells, but I'll likely keep around as an option)
  • Modified keyswitch holes to support Kailh hot-swap sockets
