Introducing the Scylla
A modern, compact ergonomic split keyboard based on the Dactyl Manuform.
If you are interested, please fill in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7fMUA1SxY5Kq29Nh8jqGQ9h0IxySnbKjqaCTc-QrbH_tffA/viewform?usp=sf_link. Thanks !!
I've been designing Dactyl Manuforms for two years, and made the open-source Skeletyl - https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl (https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl), and TBK Mini - https://github.com/Bastardkb/TBK-Mini (https://github.com/Bastardkb/TBK-Mini)
Now with all that CAD experience, I set out to design a brand new 6x4+5 dacman, made for no compromises. Low profile, sharp and compact design, high-quality print and components. With 1 year of building Dactyl Manuforms, I did all I could to ensure a great product and build experience.
I'm posting here to get a general idea of the interest behind this keyboard, and gather some feedback before launch.
General information - split ergonomic keyboard - switch well and column-staggered - same layout as a dactyl manuform Mini - per-key RGB (optional) - low profile - built and shipped from the Netherlands, worldwide - comes with QMK and online configurator - tenting base, 30 degrees (optional)
