Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 150,000 readers.

The BastardKB's Dactyl Manuform Flexible PCBs go open-source:

[…] you shouldn't order that in flex. Normal PCB with .6mm thickness is more than enough. .8mm will also work but you will struggle a bit more during installation – Fmcraft.

If you want to modify the design files, the Kicad sources are included. If you just want to order the PCBs, check out the Release section which contain the gerber files.
