• Dactyl Manuform 5x6 full with trackball.
  • Resin case, Amoeba King PCBs, and hot swaps.
  • Used Kailh Box Navy switches.
  • Adafruit KB2040 and PMW3389 for the controllers.
  • TRRS with full duplex between the halves.

Took my sweet time wiring up to not burn myself out, but I think it was worth the wait! My soldering skills certainly improved by the end of it. 😅

Also, big shout-out to Wylderbuilds!

    Yup! My thumb rests on the enter key but can still use the trackball without triggering it. I do wish there was a little more space between those two keys but otherwise it’s fine.

      Is that breakout board you’re using for the trackball? (I just ordered a raw sensor)

        It’s the PMW3389. Following Wylderbuilds’ trackball guide I soldered a header onto it to make it easier to connect.

          Thanks, wasn’t aware of the nicer versions on tindie.
