Custom Dactyl-like keyboard designed in Fusion360

Recently finally got time to assemble my last project - I call it the Basilisk.

It is the first handwired keyboard I assembled, and also the first one I designed.

I designed it in Fusion 360 myself, I have to reference u/balanstik videos, like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=scoX8NZv4MI&t=1s as one of my main resources as well as u/LostPistachio’s dactyl generator online: ryanis.cool/dactyl

It took me way more time than I’ve imagined to design it, but thankfully there are no deal-breaking adjustments that I would make to improve it. Although I have some ideas of improvements for rev. 2 if I ever decide to make it. ;)

Also, all this soldering, while not great/pretty seems to be working fine couple of days now, so I’m really happy.

Just wanted to show this to the community, and see what you think. :)

Edit: uploaded the design & stl & firmware files here: github.com/radlinskii/basilisk

Why is the keyboard giving me the thumbs down? What did I do? :(

i9nachi,

No it’s not, you got a wrong idea, it’s the beak of a basilisk! 😅 see:
