# Dactyl ManuForm Mini Keyboard
This is a fork of the [Dactyl-ManuForm](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard). The Dactyl-Manuform is a fork of the [Dactyl](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard) with the thumb cluster from [ManuForm](https://github.com/jeffgran/ManuForm).
## Features
- Sidenub is disabled by default so that Kailh, Outemu and other switches can be
used. If you use Cherry MX or Gateron switches, you can enable the sidenubs.
- One key in the thumb cluster has been removed. Other thumb keys are also adjusted.
- The total height is reduced and wire posts are removed. This results in a
higher printing speed and a lower cost.
- A TRRS mount instead of a RJ9 mount is used.
- A micro USB mount is used. A breakout board, or an extension cable can be used.
- Screw posts are moved inside.
- The pro micro holder has been modified. Dupont cables can be used.
## Future plans (PR is welcome)
- Move screw posts 3mm upwards so that the bottom plate can be inserted into the case.
- Add smoothing.
## Getting the case and bottom plate
### Option 1: Generate OpenSCAD and STL models
* Run `lein generate` or `lein auto generate`
* This will regenerate the `things/*.scad` files
* Use OpenSCAD to open a `.scad` file.
* Make changes to design, repeat `load-file`, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
* When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files
### Option 2: Download from Releases
Generated models (only 4x5) can be downloaded from [Releases](https://github.com/l4u/dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard/releases).
