The Dactyl Manuform is one of the most ergonomic keyboards but they tend to sit pretty tall on the desk. In this video I walk through my reduced-height variant: same signature keywell curve, but brought down as low as MX switches physically allow. The key spacing is also more evenly distributed than the original, which I find both more comfortable and cleaner looking. It's handwired, split, and runs on Pro Micros.
