My daily driver - hand wired dactyl
My daily driver - hand wired dactyl
Been using this for a while now, had a kinesis advantage 2 but wanted more customisation without paying a premium for the new advantage 360.
There's no led lighting so the battery lasts forever. Haven't timed it but reckon I get at least a month out of it coding 8 hours a day

Looks great. I’m sure it’s super comfy. Do you ever travel with it or is that not super feasible?
Is quite portable, more so than the Kinesis advantage I was using.
I've got a laptop rucksack and its fine to dump it in there. Haven't had any issues with it.
One day I'll get round to modding in an on/off switch to disconnect the battery but today is not that day.
For a size guide, this is how it stacks up against a corne which was my travel board (mouse for scale):
Thanks so much for the picture.
I was thinking of getting a wireless Corne or a Ferris sweep as a travel board. How do you like the dactyl in comparison?
They're both good but I've gotta say, I'll not go back to a flat keyboard anytime soon.
