Title: Introduction thread IT21985619287 (plus my current project)
Post by: whitelynx on Tue, 24 November 2020, 16:51:16

Greetings! I've been an electronics hobbyist (among other things) for years now, and I've had my own keyboard project for quite a while: Contourboarding (https://hackaday.io/project/161181-contourboarding); however, I recently shelved that one in favor of my own Dactyl-derived design: the Dactyl Lynx (https://hackaday.io/project/176016-dactyl-lynx)

I've never bothered joining any of the community forums before, but I figured I'm long overdue on that. I've been using ergonomic keyboards since... probably high school? I think I got my first Microsoft Natural sometime back then. Eventually, sometime around 2007, I switched to using Dvorak, and then got a Kinesis Classic a couple years later.

I've also been mildly obsessed with ergonomic mice - my favorite for the last several years has been the Zalman FPSgun FG1000, which has been out of production for several years now - one of my other projects is to transplant the guts of a Logitech G903 into a custom FPSgun-style chassis, but that's been on hold since I haven't gotten around to making a satisfactory model for it.

I'm curious to see if anyone has found any good backlit (double-shot) DSA cap sets for an Ergodox layout. I'd LOVE it if I could find a Dvorak set (with pips on U and H) but I think that may be a bit much to ask... at least pip-less F and H would be a start.

Here's a quick render of the current version of the Dactyl Lynx (https://hackaday.io/project/176016-dactyl-lynx):
