AM HATSU - Alu Dactyl-manuform Keyboard?

(1/7) > >>

Crazy Designers:
this is not even an Interest Check lol, i just share our thoughts to you guys  :p

To bring the industrial standard to the Dactyl-manuform Keyboard, we envisioned a radical design for it:
Alu case + Rigid-Flex PCB



Real talk or nonsense? Please leave your thoughts here.

econeuler:
Super cool! Regarding the layout, what have you in mind?
Since people tend to customize the files, I'm not sure what the most common is? 4x6?
Or are you thinking a full size 5x6? Either way looking forward to follow  :)

nevin:
i've seen a number of threads asking about an aluminum version of the manuform. thrilled to see someone working on one.
- i'd probably take a poll to gauge what the consensus is for the most popular layout, number of keys, tenting, switch cutout support etc. i'm sure if you're doing mass production there will be a limited number of options, which is fine and to be expected.
