The Tofu Dactyl is a pair of 3D-printed split keyboard variants, designed and shared by yanos626.
Another handwired project of mine done. It's basically a mashup of the dactyl keyboard designs and minimal boxy case designs (think KBDfans Tofu65, Qi65 etc) – yanos626
There are two versions available:
- Green case: MX-spaced Choc switches (soldered) with an aggressive keywell curve
- Purple case: Choc-spaced Choc switches (hotswap sockets) with a subtler keywell curve
Made with the Cosmos generator and some Fusion360.
Specs
- 56 keys (6x5+3-ish columnar split)
- Choc switches, soldered or hotswap
- Pro Micro (RP2040) footprint, 3D-printed holder
- OLED screen
- EC11 encoder
- 3D-printed case
- QMK/Vial firmware
