I, an English speaker, was interacting with a Spanish patient at work. It was me first week, and it had been a long while since I had spoken Spanish but I had been nearly fluent for years. The patient had neck pain. I walked in and very confidently asked “Donde esta el dolor en su culo?” They looked shocked, turned red and said, “OH NO!” and I immediately realized I asked them “Where is the pain in your asshole?” confusing culo (asshole) with cuello (neck). I apologized profusely and they couldn’t stop laughing about it during the whole appointment. Good times.

Jeez. Americans will use anything but metric.

Looking really good. How comfortable do you find the left thumb cluster? I’ve been eyeing that layout for my next build. You don’t see too many DM with a full bottom row like that, interesting, what did you use to to make that happen?

A gaming layer with the entire left side “shifted to the right one” so WASD falls on ESDF has worked well for me. I use a quick toggle layer on the right hand side to switch back to my typing layer and then back to gaming if I need to type something up in game.

I’ve been playing with this tool for a while now. Trying to figure out what I want to build next. It’s amazing. Thanks for all of your hard work on it.

That is a mighty fine board you have there

Ahh, the wonderful world of troubleshooting! I would first check the micro controller. Unplug all the matrix wires from it. Plug it n and use a paperclip or metal tweezers to short each of the i/o pins assigned to the matrix (rows to columns) to generate key presses. If it generates all the proper key presses, then it’s not the controller. If some are missing, then try again to rule out user error, is still no go, then it’s either the controller is bad, or your firmware is bad. Check to see the firmware looks good to rule out which. Next check your diodes, makes sure they are all oriented in the same direction. If not, then it time to de-solder and fix. You can also check to see if there are any broken solder joints in your wiring, fixing any that look broken. If they are then you can carefully reattach your wires, double checking that you’re putting therm where they’re supposed to go. Then plug in and use the tweezer method on the hotswap sockets. If that works, then test the keys, sometimes the pins on the switches bend, instead of going into the socket. Pull the switch, and straighten the pin (or replace switch) I hope you find the issue and get your board up and running.

The first one did. I can’t see why the 2nd wouldn’t

Something like the Velvet from ergohaven. You can buy one from them or build one as it’s all opened sourced. It’s about as compact as a dactyl manuform can get, I think

Very neat setup. Looking good

Dude is amazing! Love his work

I think the idea is, that is supposed to be the top pinkie key, some people find moving laterally is more comfortable than stretching upward?

I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.

Dude, what settings did you use to print those? Did you do any post processing? They all look amazing

I have a dactyl manuform and for the life of me cannot get any of the keyboard commands to actually reset the board. So I have a reset switch on mine for that reason.

I love this description

It has what plants crave!

It uses the sounds it records and compares again the messages you send. So in theory it’s layout agnostic.

That’s a cool looking board!
