Dactyl spinoff with a border

Yet another Dactyl spinoff, now with a border. Committed by jc2price.

I used /u/Okke's Tightyl as a starting point, adding back a couple of thumb buttons and a border. I'm pretty happy with the result!

It's not the most user friendly repo since jc2price ended up rewriting the dactyl script in Python just well enough to serve his own purposes.

The openings for cables / other hardware are a perfect fit for the parts used.

If you're using this as a starting point for your own build, all I can say is good luck – jc2price.
