I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

Very nice! That's a pretty big boy ;)

I don't have particularly large hands, but they're not small either. Most peripherals appear to be made for short people, but we grow tall under the searing sun of the land downunder.

AFAIK you shouldn't need wrist rests, dactyl should allow you to rest on table nicely!

I'm sorry I made my custom keyboard wrong.
